Aref’s place was exactly as described in the photos. The rental is very clean and spacious. The location is perfect, there are amazing restaurants in every direction. Atwells Ave is called the Little Italy of Providence, thus there’s a lot of great Italian food to enjoy. Massimo’s is a great restaurant with good food and drinks. The area really caters to gluten free patrons, which was a shock! Blush bakery is incredible, offering all vegan and some gluten-free baked goods. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy on Broadway, Atwells, Dean St, etc.
Broadway where the property is located does get very noisy until about midnight, and quiets down until about 5:30-6 am. The noise in the living room may be bothersome to a light sleeper. The bedroom is a bit quieter but not noise free. Please note that the stairs are long and narrow so try to pack lightly as the rental is on the second floor. All in all the rental was great, no major issues encountered and the proximity to everything helped us to explore and enjoy what the area has to offer. (You honestly won’t need a car unless you plan to venture to Newport or Judith Point to take the ferry over to Block Island (I highly suggest taking a day trip to Mohegan Bluffs)
