This is a great spot in the College Hill area of Providence! We drove up for the weekend to visit friends who live nearby. The onsite parking spot was very convenient—and because of the location, we were able to leave the car in the driveway and walk most places during our trip. The apartment itself was clean and well-kept. There are a fair amount of steps up to the top floor where we stayed, but for two young able-bodied people, it was no problem. Bruce was also a wonderful, friendly host—very communicative and flexible. Thank you!

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!

It was wonderful apartment and a wonderful house however, there were a few things if I had known I would’ve passed or at least felt better about number 3 flights of stairs to the attic number two the attic kept hitting my head, couldn’t stand to go to the bathroom and whatever that was on the bed perhaps we should invest in a nice mattress, but it was a wonderful apartment. Probably wouldn’t stay there again though.

Excellent location but not perfection

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.

Clean, Colorful & Comfortable

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 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!

Charming Retreat on College Hill

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.

Quiet and peaceful nest :)

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.
