Overall we had a great experience. Chip made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He was casual and pleasant as he showed us around the house, set expectations and policies, and welcomed us.

The room itself was comfortable, decorative, and well appointed with HD TV, it's own thermostat, and a private bathroom. The private bathroom was spacious and well designed.

The neighborhood itself wasn't part of the attraction of staying here, though the house is really cool. Still, getting in and around Downtown Providence from Chip's place was incredibly easy. It seems like everything in Providence is about 8 min or 1 mile from everything else.

We ended up doing AirBnB this wkdn because hotels were totally booked. I think Comic-con was in town. We ended up much better off -- great private space, appointed even nicer than a hotel for less money. No brainer.
