we needed a place to stay with our dog after we sold our house and moved. we were all still pretty tired and shell-shocked after all of the past month or so’s upheaval and glad that although the cottage is next to their house jeff and linda were very respectful of our need for downtime and privacy. it was nice to have a door we could open so the dog could just run out and pee in the private enclosed dog run area when he didn’t want to go to the park for a walk. the neighborhood is safe and there are a lot of ethnic supermarkets and restaurants. the cottage itself is fairly simple but met our needs just fine. great a/c, good water pressure in the shower and they were very accommodating in letting us stay an extra night when i messed up the next airbnb booking dates. really close to federal hill where there are lots of great restaurants, as well as downtown providence. good highway access too.
