Cute and close to downtown

Very convenient to downtown and in such a nice area. The stay was pleasant, comfortable and the perfect size for 3 adults, a child and a dog. The private backyard was nice to have as well. Van was very responsive and we plan on staying here again when in the area.

Wonderfully comfortable and welcoming

This property is centrally located. Parking is off street and easy. The apartment was roomy, well equipped, and very clean. Nice patio off the living room was wonderful for an evening glass of wine. Van and her family were very welcoming and extremely nice. Could not recommend more highly if you’re spending time in Providence.

Nice Getaway

We had a very nice stay for the week. My teen daughter loved her purple room with the reading area. I really appreciated the private outdoor space so I could safely let my dog out without fear of her escaping. While there were a lot of books available to read, it would have been nice to have more options on the tv. I was glad we had brought games with us for the evenings. Van was great at communicating whenever I had a question.

Awful experience

9 days into a 28 day stay we left for a hotel. The first few days I spent hours cleaning grease from the vent hood and adjacent area. The stove top had built- up grime and the oven was so dirty that we did not use it. A greasy pan had been left in the oven. Even the window sill adjacent to the stove had a patina of grease. I cleaned the small window air conditioning unit in the living room adjacent to the kitchen because it was dirty, as was the filter, which I washed.. I could continue but leave it to say the general cleanliness of the unit was unacceptable. We also had a problem with my granddaughter being bitten in the bed she was using. To avoid further bites she slept on an air mattress in the living room for a couple of nights. The host indicated they sprayed while were away in Boston for a couple days. She had bug bits the first morning after we returned, which is why we left. Too bad because the unit is close to Brown, has off street parking and has two nice size bedrooms.

I hope everyone will take a look at all review from other guest to have fair opinion of my place . All 5 stars review from here also on bnb or booking.con website. Not one complaint about bed bug or cleanness. We have a lot of family with children come over and come back each year for their family visit so not one updated on bedbug ever John complaint about cleanliness but no picture to show me. not picture on his grand daughter bug bites . We immediately got the professional exterminator come in to check , they reported no bedbug anywhere in house , and the place very safe for guest to stay . One night My other guest updated that John wife stayed at the front door and yelled at everyone around the building and they would love to be the witness if that crazy lady want to do some bad thing to us . I feel so bad for John. We tried the best to provide best customer service to each guest for their vacation as we are next to Brown and RISD so happy to be a part of their kid journey at school . Not to work with people who came and created the fake story to get refund when they trip changed
