Travis’s place in Providence was just perfect, and we can’t recommend it enough.
We drove across to Providence to explore Rhode Island and Cape Cod after a week in NYC. The flat is easy to find, just off the I95 and in the quiet historic area, close to Brown University.
Travis met us to welcome us, and let us know about great places locally (food and coffee – all spot on!) The flat is the self-contained bottom floor of the house and is beautiful outside and in. It’s nice and roomy, with a lovely clean kitchen and bathroom (the washer and dryer were brilliant). With an aircon unit, Netflix on the TV, and the coffee/supplies Travis had kindly left, we were set for the week.
The parking just outside was really convenient but we walked most of the week – an easy 20 minutes to downtown Providence where there are shops and a mall and cinema. There's a Whole Foods too just a short drive away.
Providence itself is quiet and pretty and we found it very welcoming. While we were there it was an easy trip to Boston (you could drive, but we took the Amtrak from the station) and over to Cape Cod (Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises are excellent).
All in all just a fabulous stay. Thanks so much, Travis, for having us!
