Chris was a fabulous host -- incredibly responsive to messages and texts, and very helpful in helping me locate a nearby supermarket. Check-in was easy enough, once I received the code to enter the apartment.
I was also pleasantly surprised at how big the apartment was -- I'd forgotten it was 2 bedrooms, and even though I only used one, it was perfect for my stay. Very spacious and airy. The apartment has everything you need, with good wifi (very important for me, as I was there for work), a good air-con unit, free parking in the driveway, and was super clean. Very quiet at night and I had a most FABULOUS sleep in the super comfy front room double bed.
Note: You really need a car to get to any large grocery stores, restaurants or the like. Also, the toilet "room" is very small, and even though I'm not a huge person, I am almost 6-feet tall, and it was a tad squishy to maneuver. Just some things to consider.
I will also say I was a bit skeptical about the location at first, because as I was driving in from downtown there were a few sketchy characters about (this was my first ever time in Providence). However, the property is located in a good neighborhood after all, right near Providence College. I took an early morning walk on my departure and loved walking up and down all the hills on the side streets!
I would definitely stay again!
