Loved this cozy space in a great location! Everything was as described and it was fun to see so many cool places within walking distance. Getting around the apartment for my 6' 3" husband was manageable for our weekend stay, though the double bed was a little short for him and of course he has to duck for the shower. But Julie does mention these things and we had an idea of what we were getting ourselves into.
We checked out PVDonuts, Tallulah's, the Shop, Waterman's Grille, and happened to come across the Twenty Stories bookstore in the area. All were decent options, nothing extraordinary. Also went to the Providence Flea Summer Market near the river on Water St, that was a fun thing to do and fulfilled my desires of finding some small, local businesses with Rhode Island-made products to support. Also explored the College Hill/campus area which was super easy to get to.
I loved how easy it was to get from the airbnb in Fox Point to the more downtown area of Providence. We found ourselves going from one side to the other for one reason or another and it was a breeze, would take maybe 10 minutes, and parking was never really hard to find.
Other places not in the Fox Point area that we would recommend: Tricycle Ice Cream, Moniker Brewing, Bucktown. All three of these places are right down the street from one another in Federal Hill and all so good. Also Books on the Square is an excellent independent book store just north of the airbnb location in Wayland!
If you're just in town for a weekend or short time, we also highly recommend getting the Spin App and using the scooters to ride around and explore different neighborhoods you might not get to spend as much time in, especially downtown or anything along the river. It was all beautiful and a fun way to see more of Providence. We also rode the scooters around India Point Park, which was beautiful and easy to do.
We were here to celebrate our 10th anniversary, but I would definitely come back to this airbnb - even just by myself!
