My boyfriend and I were in town for a concert and wanted to stay somewhere special. Loved Chip's place - it is filled with art and pants and curiosities, the house has tons of interesting spaces and details. Particularly loved the third floor space. We came early and spent the afternoon cooking in the beautifully equipped kitchen. The bed was super comfortable and breakfast the next morning was a smorgasbord of delicious things freshly prepared by Chip. Had a great time chatting with him. The neighborhood is ok, not great but not awful. Didn't matter to us. All in all a great experience, I would recommend this place to friends and would stay again if I was in Providence and in need of a place again!
