Alexia's bright zen in Providence was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! First, Alexia welcomed me herself and gave my guest and I a tour of the beautiful home. The entire home has beautiful hardwood floors, LOTS of windows to let in natural light, three comfy and beautiful sitting rooms, and the house itself has lots of room to keep to yourself or spend time with the other guests if you choose. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need (maybe even more than you have at home) and the front porch offers a spacious place to do work, hang out with other guests, or gaze out at the flowery yards of the neighbors. The neighborhood is perfectly safe and is full of beautiful large older homes, most of which have nicely landscaped yards. I found my room supplied with a stack of fresh towels and wash cloths, a charming greeting card, an assorted set of snacks (much better than what you could hope to receive in a hotel!), and the decorations were absolutely LOVELY. I stayed with Alexia for nearly three months and it was one of the best summers I have ever had, in large part due to Alexia's wonderful hospitality, her beautiful home, and her impeccable ability to choose guests. Alexia is also very quick to respond to any requests or concerns and is extremely considerate of her guests. Although Alexia herself is a truly pleasant, kind, and generous person, a true joy who any guest would be lucky to have as an Air BnB host, Alexia is also blessed with an ability to choose equally fantastic people which I feel will likely make the experience for any guest wishing to make new friends. However, for those guests who would prefer to keep to themselves or who are only spending a short time with Alexia, the house is more than accommodating of personal privacy, as is Alexia. Alexia is a wonderful host, and individual, with a super lovely house and I feel that anyone who stays with Alexia will be making a very wise decision.
