This gorgeous airbnb was so lovely in some ways, and disappointing in others. As we saw in previous reviews, the stairs up to the unit are tight, steep, and shallow. The first set of stairs curves about halfway up. The second flight of stairs are steep and shallow. As two bigger people, the size of the stairs wasn’t a problem. Bringing up and taking down luggage was precarious, but do-able.
The unit itself is beautiful but has some limitations. No microwave or toaster in the kitchen made it difficult to cook breakfast or heat leftovers. We ended up buying a cheap toaster and leaving it for future guests. There were some pots and pans but an odd mix of sizes. Kitchen table has stools and bench as chairs which weren’t the most comfortable. There was a small French press which was a happy surprise!
The bathroom is small but comfortable. The toilet paper was poor quality- hoping the hosts upgrade this. But maybe bring a roll from home just in case. There were also no tissues or hairdryer, which seemed like basics to us. There was only one washcloth provided. I’m sure the host would have delivered if I’d asked.
Bed in the main bedroom was comfortable with a soft topper. Couch is incredibly hard and uncomfortable with springs. It’s so pretty but left our butts and legs sore after watching TV. There are a few chairs you can sit in instead.
Federal Hill is a really nice area and we felt very safe parking and driving to nearby restaurants and shops. This is a nice unit to have as a home base while visiting Providence!
