The apartment is spacious and lovely. The decor, which is what attracted me in the photos, is quirky, eclectic and fun. Were I looking for a place to rent or buy in Providence, this apartment is what I'd seek. One earlier reviewer referred to the neighborhood as "sketchy." My Providence friends seemed surprised that I had rented in "such an area." While the area is clearly working-class and racially diverse, we had no problems or concerns. If you're seeking an upscale neighborhood, check out one of Chip's other properties. The apartment has all amenities. It's a 15 minute walk from downtown Providence. Chip greeted us shortly after we arrived. He was personable and helpful. We had a pleasant experience and will certainly contact Chip on our next trip to Providence.
