My husband and I traveled to Providence with our pup for a wedding, and we wanted a place to stay that was central in the city, spacious and private. Van's place was perfect! The location was great: close to Thayer St. (we walked to East Side Pockets for falafel) and the Hope St. shopping area (we walked to Seven Stars for coffee and pastries.) The off-street parking was easy and always available. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, and I appreciated the availability of a washer and dyer. Menus for local restaurants were on the coffee table when we arrived. We had all the privacy we wanted. I had my parents over for Sunday brunch on the private patio, and they had a great time. I highly recommend Van's place!
