Heatheran's place is located in the heart of the East Side, which means you can walk in a couple of different directions for coffee, lunch, dinner and supplies. The building is a gorgeous older Victorian, and yes it has a few quirks, but it's all standard stuff. I took the place for the entire summer and it was exactly the base I needed to get to NY, Boston, and beaches in both MA and RI. Heatheran is a delight to work with, and fixed a couple of small things right away. As a journalist chained to my desk at least a several hours a day, I loved the majestic front parlor layout with the bay window and desk. UK travelers: you will be struck with how much we Americans duplicated terraced house floor layouts from Britain. Providence probably has one of the biggest inventories of Victorian architecture outside of San Francisco. I will I could have stayed another three months, especially with Autumn coming.
