Colin's apartment was perfect for a short three-night trip to Providence. Though familiar with most of Rhode Island, I never knew of this neighborhood...safe, quiet, quaint cafes, great for strolling. (I enjoyed my runs through the neighborhood every morning.) The view from the attic apartment was reminiscent of a movie set (can't remember which one), looking out from the treetops at the sunrise and stone tiled roofs. (If you have heavy bags, it's good workout to the top floor, though no different than what I've found in some homes in France and England.) The bedroom was cute and cosy with Colin's hand-painted furniture with such touches as paper, a calculator, and stapler in the desk drawers. The air conditioning in the front room was helpful and cooled the bedroom to sleep well in a rare two-day heatwave and the air from open-windows was perfect for the last night. And Colin was warm and welcoming from check-in to check-out.
