My wife and I and a friend spent 4 nights in Loren’s place. The apartment is on the lower level of his house. He lives upstairs. The house is old, which means it has some character, but also some quirks. It’s a fairly small place, but very efficiently laid out, so the rooms do not feel small. The exception might be the kitchen, which is pretty small. We had no problem cooking breakfasts there, but I wouldn’t want to try to prepare a gourmet dinner for 6. It was spotlessly clean and well stocked. Loren did a great job remodeling the bathroom We appreciated his eclectic collection of art on the walls and his skill as a gardener out back. There were quite a few restaurants within walk-in distance. We enjoyed a dinner at the Garden Grill (vegetarian) and breakfast at Francesca’s. The house is about 10 minute drive from downtown Providence.
