I really enjoyed my stay at Karli’s place, which is located in the Armory District, a vibrant, diverse urban neighborhood in Providence, full of 19th century architecture. The apartment is directly across the street from the armory itself, a fortress built in 1907, and its adjoining park (where I was happy to find a weekly farmer’s market going on during my stay).
I found the apartment exactly as described, with a very comfortable bed and wonderful light coming through windows and skylight. The updates to the kitchen and bath add an appealing modern touch, at the same time preserving the home’s historic charm. I appreciated Karli’s attention to small details, like the quality of the kitchen ware (vintage plates, silverware and glassware) and bath towels (nicely spa-like).
As a host, Karli was thoughtful and very responsive. Though I didn’t get to meet her in person, she remained in touch during my visit and left clear information about checking in and out, and also provided a detailed guide to cool places to visit in Providence. If you didn’t already know it, Providence is one of the best places to find cool indie restaurants and bars.
