This place is just on the outskirts of the downtown city of Providence but perfectly located near walking trails by the water and delicious food - plenty of options within walking distance. Just a heads up the stairs leading up to the top floor were quite narrow - they weren't a problem at all but I wish I hadn't tried to bring so many bags in on my first trip up them :) It is also the top floor of the house so ceilings are quite low in places. They didn't affect where we walked during our stay though. This is definitely a nice stay!! Julie is fantastic and is very thorough with information about your stay after booking. Couldn't have asked for a better trip to PVD.
