One of my favorite Airbnb stays yet! I grew up in the area and know Providence pretty well; for my week-or-so stay, I was looking for a cozy, chill home and neighborhood, but with a location that would put me in proximity to daily essentials and wouldn't be impossible for walks to Thayer Street/College Hill/Downtown. Per's home is in the beautiful Hope neighborhood of town, leafy and residential but with a few Main Street hubs here and there. I cherished my evening strolls, especially with nearby Blackstone Boulevard and walking paths, and I was glad to have a CVS, bodegas, and a terrific range of takeout/dining options nearby. And Per's home and hospitality alike were top-notch: easiest check-in imaginable, consistent and supportive communication throughout, and just a beautiful, calming, spacious, creatively appointed living space. The rental is on the third floor of the home and is a LOT of space for one person, likely the same for a pair: spacious bedroom with VERY comfortable bed (I'm a sleep diva!!!!), full bathroom with a skylight, and a generous living room with great windows/natural light. The place was immaculately clean and the garden of indoor plants, alongside the rest of the beauty and decor, created a uniquely comfortable and zen atmosphere. I felt right at home and completely left to myself; Per was super respectful of privacy and personal space but also incredibly kind and generous in conversation and hospitality. I would absolutely book this place again if I'm visiting Providence and truly hope to next summer. Truth be told, I'd been starting to gravitate away from Airbnb and toward hotels, but this stay was a reminder of how special the platform is -- thanks to wonderful folks like Per.
