Alex’s apartment is elegant and nicely appointed with wooden blinds, and the shower feels like an escape to ancient Rome or something—loved it. It has a bit of a stark bachelor pad feel, but there are plenty of pots and pans and spices to cook with should you choose not to frequent the good restaurants that are just a couple blocks away. There’s a tiny, lovely, steep woodsy park across the street and the Shakespeare garden a couple blocks away. Perfect location for exploring Providence. There are comfy chairs and/or sofa in the bedrooms, which creates a sitting room to choose instead of the living room. My only quibble was that the windows don’t open, but it is on the first floor, so it was nice to have the security of the alarmed windows. The apartment is not as big as the photograph suggest, but it still was a really nice place to stay.
