Overall this place was a very convenient place for us to stay during our time in Providence. Here are a few of the highlights.
Pros:
• Very good location, close to Federal Hill and lots of other cool stuff and not a far drive to get pretty much anywhere in the city.
• Despite being a part of a 3 unit building, there was very little noise or disturbance from anyone else that lives in the building.
• Comfy beds and clean sheets
• Excellent water pressure in the shower. As well as some soap and shampoos for use by the guest if you happen to forget yours at home.
• Pet friendly
Cons:
• As other reviews have stated, the unit is at the top of a 3 story multi-family home, and climbing 3 stories of narrow stairs multiple times a day gets exhausting quickly. Also something to consider if you have mobility issues or an older pup who struggles with stairs.
• The available parking is a garage behind the unit that is very small, if you have a sedan or smaller car this is no issue, but if you have a large SUV or are traveling with rooftop cargo you probably won’t fit in the garage comfortably. Thankfully Danny was flexible and instructed us to park right outside of the garage.
• The unit relies on 3 window AC units to keep the whole space cool. This is fine and most of the time wasn’t a huge issue, however the unit in the living room (where the TV is) is incredibly loud so we kept it off most of the time we were in the unit.
• Cleanliness of the unit left some to be desired. There were dirty rags and an old bath bomb left behind in the bathroom and kitchen, presumably forgotten by the last inhabitants or during cleaning. Also nearly all of the pots and pans and other kitchen tools were covered in an oily film and had to be cleaned before using them.
Overall this place shines in its affordability and convenient location, and made a great place for us to come home and sleep after a long day exploring providence. If you plan to spend a lot of time at your Airbnb, this may not be the most enjoyable stay for you. However it worked well for us and Danny was a good host.
