John's place was exactly what I was looking for--a clean, quiet, peaceful place not too far from the center of Providence. The room was huge, and it was relaxing to stay up there. Hurricane Henri was passing through, so I didn't get much chance to sit in the garden, but it feels like a hidden oasis in the middle of a residential area. I lived in Providence for 12 years, so you need a car there for sure, but John's place was close to everything, and the off-street parking was a nice bonus. I didn't get a chance to talk much with John, but he was a very kind and gracious host. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again when in town!
