Fun Thanksgiving trip

My family (couple and adult kids) enjoyed exploring Providence a bit over the Thanksgiving break. There’s so much to do within walking distance (museums, restaurants, stores) and we also just loved walking around neighborhoods and exploring the architecture. My husband and I enjoyed having the option for a private sitting area in our top floor suite.

Providence with Personality

We could not have asked for a better place for our initial visit to Providence. Four adults had ample space, comfortable beds, a quiet street in a great neighborhood close to everything. We could walk to Brown University, walk downtown, walk to restaurants, river tours, museums, etc. Our host Mai was very responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns. The property was just as advertised, and we would definitely book again. Wonderful place to stay!

Luxury property

Our visit to Providence was highlighted by our beautiful apartment; beautifully furnished, spotless with thoughtful touches: snacks, extra towels and a booklet with clear, concise instructions around all aspects of our vacation home. The neighborhood is lovely with easy access to shops and restaurants. Warm thanks to our hosts

GBB Family Vacation

The Benefit Street location was indeed an Oasis! We enjoyed this quaint location in Providence. It was easy to walk around to dine in fantastic restaurants and to see the history Providence has to offer! It was centrally located for our family outings to Boston and Newport. Then after returning, we could chill out and relax in this comfy spot! Thanks!

Lives up to its name - Urban Oasis

Mai and Chris are excellent hosts. Great communication with very clear expectations. The home is very comfortable, clean and well maintained. While we ended up being a party of two, the home would have been very comfortable with the group of four that we had originally planned. Convenient location within easy walking distance of things on College Hill, downtown and Federal Hill. As a result, we ended up not cooking any dinners in, but the kitchen had the necessary supplies to have done so. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Hidden gem

The property was the perfect fit for us on a recent east coast trip. It’s well-appointed and packs a punch for its size. It super handy to downtown, train station and Brown University. The charming neighborhood was a pleasant bonus. The hosts were accommodating and communicated very well.
