Chip is awesome. I really really liked him as a host.
Pros:
- Unique decor. Chip is an antique collector and there are many special pieces to look at in his home
- Breakfast is included and very good. Chip is well-travelled and his food choices reflect that
- Quiet house
- WiFi and other amenities
- There are some nice common spaces
Not exactly cons but things to note:
- The house wasn’t dirty, but it wasn’t particularly clean. I waited until I got home to shower.
- There is a cat. (This may not be a con for everybody)
- It’s not easily walking distance to where all the action is in Providence. It’s a short uber ride away, though. I though the neighborhood was fine, but as you may know, Providence is divided by the highway and it’s not on the “nice” side.
All in all I would go back. I really liked it here but was a bit surprised by the resounding 5 star ratings given the things above. I also reserve my 5 stars for truly mind blowing, if that helps you gauge my baseline.
