Our stay with Chip was wonderful from start to finish. There were any number of 'extra' thoughtful ways that Chip made our stay so enjoyable, including awesome breakfasts at our early hour request (home-cooked, wonderful fresh fruit, warm pastries, served on fine china and silver!), luxurious sheets and towels, the air conditioner turned on so that the room cooled before our return each evening, and the peaceful setting and gardens, to name a few. Chip's gracious hospitality and friendly and informed conversations enhanced our visit to Providence. The bus downtown was super convenient. The bus and walk to the house was a bit dicey late at night, but fine most of the time, and very peaceful once at the house. We would highly recommend staying here.
