This apartment isn’t well set up for long term stays. My partner and I worked remotely from the space for a month and had to purchase several basic items for the kitchen (like a coffeepot, cutting boards, nonstick pan). There were multiple broken cabinets in the kitchen, and we found out from other tenants that the laundry facility had been broken for some time. When we flagged these for the host on our second day, she was quite responsive and friendly but no action was ever taken.
Additionally, there were no cleaning resources within the apartment. The varnish on the floor was actively disintegrating and getting tracked across the space and deeply into the rug. When we asked for a vacuum for our month-long stay, we again got a quick response but nothing was ever provided.
That said, the bed is comfortable and the water pressure is great. I loved that we were within walking distance of Seven Stars Bakery and Ogie’s Trailer Park, a cute and kitschy bar, and a quick drive into downtown Providence. It is across from a park, which is a wonderful resource, though it does have a homeless population that occasionally sleeps on the building’s front porch. If you’re staying by yourself, particularly as a woman, it’s something to be aware of.
The house has good bones and lovely original artwork, and is in need of some TLC.
