My parents stayed with Chip and here is their story.
They have been visiting us in Providence for the last 6 years and wish they knew about this place. It's full of character, VERY comfortable, the breakfasts are superb (take that from people who traveled over half the world), the host is friendly and helpful.
if there is room in Chip's house next time they come to visit, they'd be delighted to be his guests again.

Would definitely recommend!
