THE LAYOUT:
LIVING/DINING ROOM:
Upon your arrival you instantly feel the inviting warmth of this thoughtfully designed space. The open layout unfolds around you, with 20 foot ceilings and a sleek spiral staircase creating a striking focal point as it leads to the loft-style bedroom above. In the living room a plush sleeper sofa easily transforms into a queen bed, while an additional couch offers ample space to unwind and watch TV on this mounted flat screen. Sunlight filters through the bay window, where a desk nook invites you to pause and catch up on work. Nearby, a dining table for six anchors the room, making it perfect for gathering, lounging, or simply enjoying the space.
SPECIAL NOTE - OUR SLEEPER SOFAS
Not all sleeper sofas are created equal—and trust us, we’ve tested a LOT of them! After a year of searching, sitting, and yes… even napping, we finally found “THE ONE.” These premium sleeper sofas are so comfy that even adults can get a great night’s sleep. We invested over $15,000 upgrading them across our properties, so go ahead—test ours out… you won’t be disappointed!
KITCHEN:
Follow the hallway just past the living room step into a fully equipped kitchen designed for both comfort and convenience. Thoughtfully stocked with everything you need—from a full-size refrigerator and stove to a microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker—this space makes cooking feel effortless. Whether you're whipping up a quick breakfast or a home-cooked dinner, you'll find all the essentials neatly arranged, making it feel like your home away from home.
SLEEPING AREAS:
In addition to the sleeper sofa in the living room, this apartment offers two comfortable and well-appointed bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom off of the living room features a queen-size bed, a bureau, and a closet for added convenience. The secondary bedroom, which is accessible by a charming spiral staircase, is a cozy loft-style space with a double bed, open to the living area below. While the loft does not have a door, and has low ceilings, it’s a great option for family-style stays or anyone who enjoys a cozy sleeping hideaway. Both bedrooms also include a white noise machine for a restful nights sleep.
BATHROOM:
Tucked in the hallway near the living area, the bathroom makes the most of its space with a clean, modern design. It features a modern sink paired with a mirror and a walk-in shower. The space comes stocked with all the essential amenities any guest would need, ensuring a smooth, stress-free, and relaxing stay.
THE BUILDING:
This apartment is on the third floor and there is no elevator in this apartment building. From the charming brick exterior to the bright, modern interior, this apartment perfectly blends historic character with fresh, stylish design. Whether you're visiting for work, exploring the city, or simply looking for a stylish and comfortable place to relax, this thoughtfully designed apartment offers the perfect home base for your stay in Providence. It’s in a friendly and safe neighborhood right across from the Ivy league Brown University. We can accommodate up to 6 guests. Despite the thorough renovations of all our apartments, the building itself remains an older structure and is considered unsuitable for young children. However, if your children are 2 years or older and you understand these considerations, we would be happy to accommodate your stay. There is one off-street parking spot in the lot diagonally across the street from the apartment.
