We had a lovely stay at Pat’s. Pre-arrival communications and check-in were a breeze. We were met at the door upon arrival and Pat brought us to our large, comfortable bedroom on the 2nd floor to settle in. Tastefully decorated, the room was larger than expected and featured a spacious closet and a large, private, en suite bathroom stocked generously with soft towels. On both mornings of our stay, she offered coffee, fresh fruit, bagels, and cereal in her cozy, newly renovated kitchen. She also provided an amazing, comprehensive binder filled with menus from local restaurants, area attractions, and shopping. The best part of our stay was the convenient location just off Hope Street, one of the most lively neighborhoods in the city. We were just a short walk from a fantastic variety of diverse restaurants offering pub grub, pizza, gourmet bistro fare, and Indian/Asian. I highly recommend WaraWara if you’re looking for a unique, somewhat upscale Asian bistro experience. Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and great service (but make reservations in advance if you’re looking for a table on a Friday or Saturday night). We also loved the Cambodian place - Gourmet House - a BYOB place with a huge, reasonably priced menu. It’s nothing fancy but we had a great meal there, served by attentive wait staff. for a fraction of the price of any other place on Hope Street. The original location of Seven Stars Bakery, Providence’s locally owned chain of coffee shops/bakery, is also here… worth a visit for great (albeit pricey) coffee and pastries. Go in warmer weather, when you can sit outside. Pat was a gracious host in every way and we highly recommend this property for any couple looking for a comfortable, safe, and welcoming spot in the heart of the east side.
