BOOK this stay now! :) You simply can't find a more lovely couple than Amanda and John as hosts and the home is just filled with little perks. This was our second stay and we would absolutely book again. Amanda and John are top-notch communicators (both via the written instructions and via messaging to answer questions.) They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and you truly feel like you're staying with family. Their home is beautiful and filled with art and lots of special touches. The kitchen is really well stocked - you could definitely cook there if you wanted to. The bedrooms are very comfortable - we had 5 of us staying and it never felt cramped. The neighborhood and location in Providence are awesome. You are walking distance to so many wonderful restaurants and shops. There is also a Whole Foods almost next door and a traditional grocery store, liquor store, pharmacy, etc. right around the block. We didn't walk to RISD because we were helping my daughter move into and out of a dorm, but we could have walked to either Brown or RISD without any issue. All in all - it's a wonderful place to stay with about the best hosts you can ever hope for on Airbnb!!
