We had a great experience at Chip's Band B. To echo other reviews, the neighborhood is sketchy but once at the house, we felt completely safe. The house is decorated beautifully and meticulously clean. The room was beautiful . Chip took care to make us feel welcome, right down to a plate of brownies and sherry left in our bedroom in the evening. Although not right in the heart of Providence's action, the bus ride was an easy one and cab was inexpensive. He made a delicious full breakfast in the morning. I definitely recommend this B and B.
