You will have a hard time finding a more charming accommodation, not only in Providence but pretty much anywhere. The house is furnished with great taste and personal touch. I stayed for longer, between moves, and it was as much a Providence vacation as it could be.

The neighborhood: well, it’s Providence. Neighborhoods change quickly. I walked around a few times, and all was fine, but I recommend a car. Also, drivers in this part of the town are overall very courteous.

Tips: I took my coffee (and homemade brownies) in the back yard. You are about 5—10 minutes from the town. Just drive all the way straight up the broad street, through the downtown and the bridge, up the hill to the Brown university gate, and there turn left. Free parking spots are 6-7 blocks away (no parking between 8 and 10 am), and then it’s a nice walk to Brown university & the restaurant district.
