Historic & Walkable
This apartment is very spacious and beautiful. The location couldn't be better. The apartment is truly historic, we got souvenirs from the Athenaenum that have this row of apartments pictured on it (along with other historic area buildings). We were stressed about the parking situation when we first arrived since the regulations/hours were unclear, but the parking ended up being very convenient and not an issue. The downstairs bedroom is a bit dank and dark, but there is a dehumidifier down there that helps and of course some people (myself included) prefer a dark room for sleeping. Overall, a great place to stay and get to know Providence!

Historic home on Athenium Row!
This home is a two-level townhome that has been updated from an original 1845 row home. There are a few details left in the home (like the shutters or one small area of exposed brick and beam) to allow you to enjoy the original building structure. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was higher quality than most Vrbo properties. Parking was a challenge, but after speaking to the hosts we realized we could park directly in front of the home between 6pm and 8am or any time on weekends/holidays (which was not all that evident from the parking signage- the extra instruction was helpful). Thank you for a lovely stay!

Appeared clean until…
Everything was fine and clean, except after walking around barefoot the first evening, the otherwise white soles of my feet were brown. A deep cleaning of the floors is likely in order. They certainly looked clean and there was no debris. That being said, we would definitely stay there again!
