This is definitely a unique place and it's definitely bigger than I expected. A couple of things to consider - the staircase is quite steep so it'd be difficult (if not impossible) for anyone who may not be able-bodied for one reason or another. The location is within driving distance (minutes really) from downtown PVD and all the great neighborhoods in the area (e.g. Federal Hill and the new Pedestrian bridge). Even though I lived in PVD for 6 years, I don't know the neighborhood for which Chip's place is located so I can't really comment on safety and walking around at night. Overall, a good location for what I needed, i.e. near the highway to get to the beaches in South County.
