I stayed at Chip's place for only one night, I was in town for a conference. Chip graciously picked me up from the train stations, which was above and beyond! It was a great place, with alot of interesting decor and was super quiet despite the fact that there were other people in the house. The breakfast pastries were yummy, and the coffee delicious!
My only 2 nit-picky things are 1. There was a chain on my door, but the door didn't close properly so to keep it shut at night I had to put my bag in front of it. 2. It was in a neighborhood that I would walk alone, which is impossible to know just from Google maps.
Overall it was a great stay, I only wish that I had more time to hang out in Providence.
