I highly recommend staying with Rose when visiting Providence. Rose was there to welcome us upon our arrival and was extremely warm and friendly. She recommended a great restaurant within walking distance and happily accommodated our requests. She also provided a delicious breakfast with eggs for those who want it and ate breakfast with us. Her house is cozy and filled with interesting art and the bed is extremely comfortable. It is located within a 10 minute walk to Brown University, ideal for those on college visits.
