Overall we had an awesome stay! The unit has about 34 steps to get inside and upstairs so definitely take that into account when planning your stay. The apartment was very nice and comfortable. The bed and futon could stand to be replaced due to poor cushioning. Other than that we had no issues with the property! The owner was easy to contact and responded very quickly! Would definitely visit the area again!
The apartment is a cute and clean attic apartment. The host is very attentive to our needs and gave great recommendations for cafes and restaurants. The neighborhood was perfect for my granddaughter who enjoyed the park across the street. I would definitely stay here again!
The apartment is adorable and everything was clean and up to date. We traveled from Rhode Island to Boston, Salem, Mystic, down to Newport... great central location to explore the area!
Clean and cozy. Close to Brown which is what we wanted. Good parking. Communicating with the host was fast and easy. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Bruce
Beautiful house in the heart of Providence, but had those old New England house funky narrow stairs. Everything was clean, but there were a few issues. The futon sofa couch is coming apart in the back so we threw the futon on the floor to use as a bed. We never could get the t.v. streaming service to work despite using the password several times. So, some things great, some things not.
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!
The location of this property is perfectly situated on College Hill - very walkable, quaint, well appointed and quiet. The owner had excellent communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend this wonderful spot!
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.
Brad was a very helpful host who communicated clearly and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. The space was as described and met all our needs.
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.
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.
We had booked this property as it was within walking distance of Browns
The owners are very friendly . The booking process was smooth and the owners are very hands on. It is in a great neighbourhood and very convinient to the supermarket
The house has all amenities which u will need during your stay
We loved every day of the 3 weeks we were there
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!
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!
