This apartment has several good qualities. It is close to many of the things to do in Providence, it is very reasonably priced and offered us much more room than we could have gotten in a hotel room. It is also remarkably quiet given the proximity to the highway. However, “comfortable and well-appointed” is a stretch. It had very basic kitchen accommodations, not even enough coffee cups for the 3 of us. Which ended up being fine since the coffee maker was broken anyway. The washer and dryer is a coin operated set in the basement of the house that all residents share. This wasn’t a deal-breaker, just would have been nice to know up front, as I don’t generally travel with a roll of quarters. There is a change machine, but it only takes $1 bills. The biggest issue was that it was not very clean. Old food was left in the oven from a previous stay, the shower was visibly dirty, and most walls/baseboards/windowsills/blinds had not been cleaned in some time. The owner was very responsive, he did bring us cleaning supplies when we asked, and eventually did offer to have the whole apartment cleaned, which we would have taken him up on had we not already cleaned and were leaving the next day anyway. If it is clean, this apartment would be an excellent find for the money.
