Scott's place is located in a prime location to explore downtown Providence. You can walk to Atwells Ave. (the Italian section ... lots of great restaurants and stores ... we went to Massimo's for dinner and Jimmy's for lunch....stopped at Tony's Colonial for various stuff) as well as Benefit Street (historic walk...a completely different feel from downtown on the other side of the river towards Brown and RISD). Providence Convention Center is only a couple of blocks away (which is attached to the Mall, if that is your thing). Scott responds to any questions/concerns you have right away, before and during your stay. He gives clear directions to everything and having a free parking spot for your car during your stay is such a benefit! I highly recommend Small Point on Westminster for a quaint breakfast spot. We were there every morning! If you are a light sleeper and need a good night's sleep, I would check somewhere else. It is located right in downtown as Scott clearly states.
