It was a very nice apartment in a great location, but we had some problems staying there.

There was no "free parking on premises" as advertised in the listing. We had to park overnight on the street, which is actually illegal in Providence without a permit. We received two parking tickets on our first night, and had to work out alternate parking arrangements for the rest of our stay, to avoid getting additional tickets. I had to park my car at a friend's house a mile away and walk back to the apartment.

Otherwise, we had a problem with the air mattress that was initially provided. We expected a full size air mattress, since the apartment "sleeps 4" on a full size bed and air mattress. But the air mattress provided was only a twin, not big enough for two people. My wife and I had an extremely uncomfortable night of sleep, I wound up sleeping on the floor. Thankfully, Sophia's partner brought over a larger air mattress the next day, so we slept OK for the remainder of our stay. But it was not very nice starting off our vacation with a terrible night of sleep.

I've never written a negative Airbnb review, and I really didn't want to write this one. I understand that problems can come up, but I was very disappointed that Sophia was unresponsive to my messages both during our stay and afterwards. When a place offers "free parking on premises", a guest shouldn't have to deal with parking on the street and than paying for parking tickets. And a house that "sleeps 4" on two mattresses should have mattresses large enough to sleep 2 people each.

And when a guest contacts a host asking them to address problems like these, I expect at least some kind of response, not silence. I would have given a much more positive review if Sophia had replied to my messages.

All that said, this is a nice apartment in a good location. If you are only 2 people staying, and if you don't need to park a car, you probably will love it.

One other small concern: There are large windows in the front room of the apartment, that look directly out to the street/sidewalk/houses across the street. There are no curtains on these windows, and therefore no privacy. Since that front room is also the "2nd bedroom", it can be awkward getting undressed etc, and knowing that anyone can peek in at you from the sidewalk while you're sleeping.
