Alex's place was centrally located in Providence's little Italy and was a great place to walk around! The place itself was much bigger than we expected and was reasonably clean however in terms of our previous AirBnB experiences we felt it could have used a deeper clean. A lot of built up dust, dirt in between the couch cushions, random untidy piles under the bed and the closets. Overall one of these things on its own wouldn't matter, but together didn't make us feel very comfortable.
The bed was very comfy and big however the sheets did feel a bit worn and old which made them feel like they weren't clean. I'm sure they were but just our opinion compared to our own bedding at home.
There was a good sized full kitchen available and after visiting a few of the local Italian markets we were inspired to cook some pasta at home. We had everything we needed but the utensils/pots/pans were very scattered in the cabinets and were worn to the extent that pots were peeling.
This place is definitely adequate for a couple nights stay however we felt the value for money didn't meet the standard of the place considering our previous AirBnB experiences.
Also we rushed out in the morning to catch an early train and regrettably forgot to lock the keys back in the lock box. There was a $50 fee that was charged which is stated in the listing but we did mail them back too as we felt terrible for forgetting them! Perils of not having time for a morning coffee :)
We do appreciate Alex opening his condo for us and we enjoyed the area very much!
