How staying at Air BnBs used to be!
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Rebecca’s Benefit home, and we could tell that our comfort was important to our host.
The house is charming and has every detail a traveler might need: from a basket of soft blankets to curl up with on the sofa to an individually wrapped toothbrush and toothpaste if you forgot your own. We ESPECIALLY appreciated the resident parking pass, which allowed us to park directly in front of the house without fear of being ticketed or towed. Water filter, tea, and creamer also provided.
The home is a short walk (through a gorgeous, historic neighborhood) to everything on College Hill (RISD, Brown, Thayer) and downtown. We would gratefully stay here again.
***Rebecca’s unit is well-equipped with AC and multiple fans. Providence summers are hot, and most buildings don’t have air conditioning. This unit is on the 3rd (top) floor, and so the kitchen area and stairs did feel warmer than the main living space (which was icebox cold like we prefer). But I think that this is a reasonable expectation for Providence and Boston area rentals. When you keep the main living space door closed, it stays very comfortable.
This unit is accessible via a private entrance and is on the third floor. The stairs are steep, so I would not recommend this unit for anyone with mobility issues. The stairs did not present an issue for us.
