I have returned to Pat’s charming home in the lovely Hope District of Providence for several years now, and it feels like “my home in Providence.” Pat’s hospitality and helpfulness as a host are outstanding. She knows all about great places to go in Providence, Newport, and beyond in Rhode Island, and it is a treat to walk around in her own neighborhood, which has seemed safe to me, during the day, or at night. There are a number of good restaurants, cafes, and shops on Hope Street, only half a block away. I highly recommend Pat and her home — she is also an artist, so you’ll see her interesting artworks throughout her well-appointed and clean, cozy home. She also provides healthy, fresh fruits, yogurt, eggs, cereals, teas, coffees, and other snacks for visitors. The WiFi works well, and her home is a comfortable refuge. The only thing I might point out is that, as in many New England homes, the staircase up to the bedrooms might be a bit winding for some people with walking issues, but she does have a railing, and it’s only up one floor from the downstairs hall. Otherwise, the two bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor are private, comfortable and clean, with helpful reading materials about Providence and Rhode Island. Pat is a gem! I feel like she has become a friend, beyond being a great host.
