Lior has a great first floor apartment on the East side not far from the schools on College Hill and the I-95 exit/entrances. We came to Providence for a 45th RISD reunion and found it quite convenient for everything we wanted to do.

After I looked at the listing I mentioned to Lior that the apartment looked rather sparsely furnished. We were glad to see a sofa bed and coffee table had been added by the time we arrived.

The kitchen was terrific, "better than our kitchen" Mary said. The apartment looks as if it has been recently renovated.

The bathroom appeared brand new and was a pleasure to use.

Our only problem was with the bed. We're AARP types (45th college reunion, remember) and a double bed is hard to get used to after years of sleeping in a queen size bed. The real problem was the old fashioned steel innerspring rather than a box spring under the mattress. The last time I saw a steel innerspring mattress I was throwing it out a 2nd floor window. 2 people can't really sleep in the bed with the steel spring under the mattress, it rocks like a boat and you both roll to the middle.

We solved the problem with one of us sleeping in the double bed and the other one sleeping on the sofa bed. We both had several good nights sleep, just not in the same bed.

I mentioned this to Lior and I believe he will be replacing the steel innerspring soon.
