Thrilled with our stay! Chip's house is truly a thing of beauty. It's an enormous old Victorian mansion stuffed to the gills with the most astonishing array of antiques, art, curios, knick-knacks and bric-a-brac that I've ever seen. It takes the concept of eclectic shabby-chic to epic levels. The house has multiple units, but this particular one is the entire third floor apartment. It has two large bedrooms, a comfortable sitting room, and a full kitchen. Be careful - it's a climb, so probably not a good option for anyone who is mobility challenged, but it was perfect for us. This house is more like a traditional B&B, with multiple rentable units with private bathrooms, and public areas downstairs for all guests. Most mornings Chip cooks up the most amazing gourmet breakfast - something different every day. While we were there we had yogurt with fruit & granola, vegetable frittata, warm fresh croissants, waffles, bacon & sausage, and various other delectables. TIP: be kind to Chip and let him know if you will not make it down for breakfast, as he really pours his heart into cooking it, and I'm sure it costs him a lot for the food, which is a shame to waste. He serves it at 9:00 am, and trust me, it's worth making time for it! If you are considering staying here, please READ HIS WRITE-UP on the listing! Because this place might be heaven for you...or it might not. If you are looking for an anonymous, modern hotel room, this is not the place. If you want a Hilton with daily maid service and fresh linens every day, this is not it. If you have a hard time seeing poor people or are irrationally afraid of racial minorities, this might not be for you. Chip is very up-front about the fact that this house is in a racially diverse neighborhood that shows signs of the poverty that affects the area. This was not a problem for us - we weren't staying here for the purpose of exploring the neighborhood, but for a lovely, unique, historic and quirky place to stay while visiting family in the area. But if you clutch your pearls at the first sign of a poor or brown person, you are probably better off at a Best Western in the suburbs. Chip was a delightful host. Each morning, after serving us his sumptuous breakfast (in his amazingly ornate dining room!), he would sit down and chat with us. He is chock full of fascinating stories of Providence - the history, the local politics, etc. He gave us some great suggestions about restaurants, places to see, the best ferry to take to Martha's Vineyard. He could not have been more accommodating. The place was very clean, which was astonishing given how much STUFF is in there! We did not detect any dust or dirt, throughout the house. The apartment itself was spotless, and the bathroom looked brand new and was wonderful. Great water...
