The apartment has loads of charm with lovely wood floors, deep leather armchairs, and amusing movie posters. The air-conditioning functions well, and there is a comfortable king-sized bed which we considered a real plus. The building is on Broadway, a main street, within walking distance or a very short drive to lots of interesting restaurants and bars. Another advantage of the location is proximity to Atwells avenue, the center of Providence’s thriving Little Italy. Atwells Ave. is just a 5-minute walk away—virtually around the corner—and full of old-school Italian restaurants and grocery stores . The apartment is not convenient for food preparation (no microwave and no stove—just a single-burner hot-plate), although you could put together a sandwich or make coffee pretty easily. You should also be aware that entering the apartment involves climbing 2 long and steep flights of stairs.
