Amazing house
This was out second time staying at this property and I can’t say enough about what a great experience we had. It is a beautiful, old home with lots of charm. The kitchen is well equipped. We had some questions and the owner was quick to respond. It is in a fantastic location, an easy walk to Brown and shopping.

Excellent Location
Great location. The neighborhood is quite charming considering Providence is a city. My guests and I travelled to attend a conference at the Rhode Island Convention Center. The home is spacious with plenty of room for entertaining. We particularly loved the professional waffle maker.

Beautiful home, super location, gracious hosts!
We were in town to visit elderly relatives and brought our grandmother along to see her sister and brother in law. The first floor bedroom was perfect for her, and the rest of our family had more than enough room upstairs. All guests of all ages loved this house and the little ones really enjoyed the playground across the street. The hosts were fabulous. If we visit again, we will certainly stay in this home again! Thank you so much.

Family and Friends Get Together!
A group of 10 of us stayed at the house this past weekend for a family/friend celebration. The house is very spacious and clean. There are multiple rooms and bathrooms of different sizes. The master bedroom and bathroom is gorgeous and well updated. The kitchen is renovated beautifully! Communication with the host was very easy and they responded in a well reasonable time. This was a perfect fit for our stay. We truly enjoyed it!

Visit for Thanksgiving
We visited Providence to celebrate Thanksgiving with old family friends. Our adult children and spouses joined us. This house was an old home with beautiful, large rooms and modern, well equipped kitchen. The beds were super comfortable. It was in a lovely section of town, easy distance to Thayer Street and good shops. An excellent stay.

Best weekend ever!
The house was absolutely perfect for our son’s wedding weekend in Providence. The beauty of the house was the backdrop for his groomsmen’s preparations and photographs. The house was exactly as described and Bruce’s communication and personal touches were not only professional but beyond the typical experience. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable, accommodating, and special home in an ideal location for a stay in the Providence area.

Wonderful house!
The house is beautiful and the host is incredibly communicative and responsive. We had a lovely stay and would stay here again. The only surprise was that we didn't know there was another apartment upstairs and when we arrived it was late and we were a bit spooked until we figured it out. But honestly, it didn't impact our stay at all!

One of a kind home in gorgeous neighborhood
Our family had a tremendous time staying at this lovely home. Bruce was so welcoming and accommodating, and everything was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Incredibly well stocked kitchen, and thoughtful staples, including coffee, muffins, and fresh fruit greeted our arrival. Everyone slept terrifically well, and enjoyed walking to restaurants in the neighborhood. We had nine adults, and it was such a better experience than booking separate rooms in a hotel. We loved it.

Perfect Stay in Providence
We rented this place for a Providence College basketball game and it was spectacular. The espresso machine they got makes a mean espresso. Also we did run into a little issue where I had left my coat with my keys in the pocket at a bar. Bruce was easy to get ahold of and promptly got his tenant to move his car so we could get one of the other cars out and resolve the situation. Place was clean, from the listing it looked like it lacked TVs but there were plenty. Beds were comfortable. Defintiely recommend!

Perfect!
Three of my girlfriends and I stayed at this beautiful home for four days. It’s better than the listing. Details inside the house are beautiful. Everything you need is there. The host was amazing. As a matter of fact, one of my friends left her e-reader behind. The host notified me and then mailed it back. My friend had it within two days. If I could give this house a 10 rating I would. Beds were super comfortable. Everyone got their own room which is really nice. I would definitely go back.

Brown Graduation weekend!
We rented this gorgeous home for our daughter’s graduation from Brown. It’s the perfect blend of Victorian charm and modern convenience! It was also conveniently located close to her degree ceremony and only a few blocks to Brown University and Thayer so we were able to park the cars in the driveway and walk everywhere. The kitchen was well-appointed and stocked with all the essentials. The eating spaces were so beautiful that we ate every meal there and didn’t even bother with overcrowded restaurants. Whole Foods is just a couple minutes away. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Everyone had their own beautiful space! This stunning home allowed us to relax in a lovely space and just made the entire weekend stress-free! We especially enjoyed the front porch every evening where we’d relax and have a glass of wine each evening. Bruce was very responsive and welcoming!

Beautiful Home, lovely neighborhood.
Beautiful home, very well maintained and felt like a historic museum inside. The house was well stocked and very clean. Great neighborhood and close to so many downtown amenities. The check in/out process was smooth ! From start to finish the owners were very helpful with suggestions on things to do in the area as well as providing a list of restaurants. They made us feel right at home. What a beautiful place to enjoy our gathering. We will definitely book this lovely home again in the future.
