Clean, Colorful & Comfortable

My husband, 1 year old baby and I had an excellent stay this past weekend. It was a relief to have such a clean and open space to be - especially with a little one. Vibrant and tasteful decorations add a quirky flair. One thing I'd recommend is packing light so that it's easier to navigate the stairs coming up to the third floor. Communications were smooth and friendly and the neighborhood is ideal. Great spot for a small family to enjoy!

Convenient and Beautiful

This property is so beautiful and in a very convenient location. Bruce was very responsive when I realized I had forgotten to tell him ahead of time I needed access to the travel crib (my fault, not his!). I would stay here again!

The third floor of a wonderful Victorian home is in a quiet residential neighborhood with a large playground across the street. The eat in kitchen is fully equipped and the entire apartment is bright and spotless. There are two beds, one is in a bedroom closed off by double doors. The other is a futon in the living room. There are two tvs and the bathroom off the kitchen. Will come back!

Charming Retreat on College Hill

We had an awesome time exploring Providence and Newport while staying in this relaxing top-floor apartment. The amenities were excellent, central location 2 min from Whole Foods and the space was comfortable, quiet and full of character. Enjoying the sunrise and sunset at Prospect Terrace, biking on the East Bay Bike Trail, and walking through Brown University to Coffee Exchange made our stay even more memorable. We will definitely return whenever we're in Providence.

Quiet and peaceful nest :)

We stayed in the Budlong house for 4 nights, taking it easy in Providence at the beginning of a New England holiday, and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The third floor space is full of light and gave us plenty of room to spread out. It’s close to Brown campus and downtown, to good restaurants and groceries, and the kitchen has everything we needed.

Perfect RI getaway

This is a beautiful apartment in East Providence, a safe, 0wealthy neighborhood very close to Brown University. The apartment is on the third floor, so this property would not be appropriate for people who cannot walk up and down the two flights of stairs. The apartment has great amenities, including food in the refrigerator that you are free to use. The bedroom sheets were clean, comfortable, and warm. The shower is small, but the shower head is really cool! The Wi-Fi was fast and I had a great time listening to podcast, praying, and meditating in the space. Bruce was so wonderful and helpful throughout my stay.

Great location, great property!

This was my second stay and can’t say enough about it! I highly recommend this property - it has a great location, has all needed amenities, and has really responsive property owners. The only note I’d make, is that anyone staying here should be prepared for stairs to reach the top! I look forward to staying again.

Lovely apartment

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment. It was located in walking distance of the main campus, and gave a great feel of what it’s like to live at Brown. My son had a tour as a prospective student and it was perfect way to experience the campus. Bruce was extremely accessible and great to work with. He provided food and staples so that we had what we needed, super thoughtful. Hope to stay there again!

Just Fabulous!

I can’t say enough about this little space! It was just me for the week while my daughter was at a nearby camp. I felt safe and secure, nestled atop a beautiful home only a few blocks from Brown University. The sleeping space was comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and the wonderful living space, with plenty of seating, a desk, and a smart TV, was cozy. The hosts were immediately responsive to the questions I had, which were few given how well they prepared me for the visit. The stairs up to the apartment are not for the faint of heart, but manageable for anyone with good knees and reasonably sized luggage. The off-street parking was convenient, and the proximity to Brown, Whole Foods, Starbucks, CVS, and a beautiful high school track made me look forward to my mid-day coffee breaks and daily after-work walks. I had everything I needed. This is a fabulous space and I highly recommend it!

A great stay in a great place

The apartment is in a great location for our need to attend an activity at Brown University. Also very convenient to Thayer Street, local restaurants and shopping. The apartment was well stocked with supplies and the owners nicely provided some breakfast items as well. It was very clean and well decorated. One issue we had was that the futon mattress was so thin and we could feel the slats from the frame itself.so much that we ended up putting the mattress on the floor. We would suggest trying to improve that in some way. One other issue we had was it was so light and airy that it was difficult to get true darkness due to not enough window coverings that could be pulled shut. The light and airiness was awesome, but it also contributed to broken sleep at times. We would definitely like to stay there again as we will be back in December if these couple of issues could be resolved. These two issues are the only reasons we did not give it an overall 5 rating. Bruce and Lynn were exceptional hosts and we appreciate all they did and we definitely recommend their unit.
