We stayed at David's East Providence home for 6 days in May, 2016 -- he made us feel VERY welcome, emailing us ahead of time, making sure we had everything we need, and leaving fresh fruit in the kitchen. The house is spacious and comfortable, just 10 minutes from Brown University and RISD in Providence. The neighborhood is safe and friendly -- a neighbor saw me struggling with a heavy suitcase, and immediately came up to help! We really felt like we were visiting the Providence area where the locals live!
