Wow!!!! Such an adorable historic house! We ABSOLUTELY LOVED Fira’s Air B&B!!! If there is a cuter Air B&B in New England, I haven’t seen it. When I saw the pictures, I thought there would be no way it could actually be that cute in person, but it was even cuter!!
The house is perfectly updated yet retained the original 1850’s charm. The floors are gorgeous! The house actually has a name and it even has a couple windows with river views. There is a shaded patio /balcony on the side of the house that is perfect for morning coffee or a happy hour drink. Without a doubt, if I ever go back to Providence, I will stay there again.
In addition to being adorable, it was the cleanest Air B&B I’ve ever been in. I have allergies so I’m super picky about hidden dust and any kind of smell. This place smelled clean, had not a spec of dust and was literally sparkling clean everywhere! I was super impressed with the cleanliness. The kitchen appliances are brand new and very nice. The bathroom is so perfectly updated and CLEAN! So pretty!
The location was great! Within blocks of Brown University and shopping and restaurants. It’s about two blocks from the river.
It’s a duplex but so quiet. I never heard a sound from the people upstairs. The street is residential and peaceful. We slept well.
We had a question about how to use the kitchen faucet and got an immediate response from the host. Literally within seconds.
The one thing I would mention, and it was totally fine, is that there is no central air conditioning. There is a window unit in the master bedroom, a big unit in the living room and fans to circulate the cool air so it was perfectly adequate. I should also add that we were there in August during a heat wave with record high temperatures. Those fans and air conditioners worked hard and kept the temperature comfortable.
Overall, we LOVED (!) this place, I’m even thinking of redecorating my house with several of their ideas! We would love to stay there again and highly recommend it to other travelers!
Thanks so much to our gracious hosts!
