About this apartment rental

Welcome to prestigious Athenaeum Row. Come experience the best of what Providence Rhode Island's east side offers! These beautiful homes are the perfect blend of history & luxury situated within the Brown & RISD campuses on historic Benefit St. Enjoy this sprawling condo with a courtyard patio. No need to have an automobile while visiting as this area is perfect to explore by foot, bike, or scooter. Walk to downtown, Wickenden St, Wayland or Thayer St in minutes.

Spend a weekend visiting local colleges and find yourself transported back in time to the early days of the American Industrial Revolution. When your feet meet the herringbone brick, you will know you are home.

THE SPACE: This 2-bedroom, 2-bath Brownstone condo combines historic charm with artistic character, reflecting the creative spirit of nearby RISD.

The open layout includes a spacious kitchen with high-quality appliances that adjoins a cozy, fully furnished living area brimming with period architectural details and unique touches.

The master bedroom is located upstairs, offering privacy, while the second bedroom is on a lower ground floor that is tastefully decorated for comfort.

The property features a courtyard where you can enjoy coffee in the morning or relax with an evening drink. Inside, you'll find extra plush bath towels and hotel-quality bedding with hypoallergenic duvets for a luxurious stay.

Minimum Age 25: All Reservations must be booked by and accompanied by an adult who is 25 years of age or older. Valid photo I.D. may be required at the time of booking.

GUEST ACCESS: Guests will enjoy full uninterrupted access to the entire first floor condo. This historic property does not permit digital locks on any doors so the only access is by keys. You will be provided a key that works all outside doors and apartment doors. You can use the courtyard but must be mindful of noise at all times and not disturb the neighbors. Guests do not have access to any other private court within the Row. Guests are not permitted to gather or loiter in the common area hallways.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Children Ages 11 & under do not have to be listed as adult guests but we do require that you let us know how many will be with your group so we can account for them.

An on street visitor parking pass will be provided by the Host. This pass must be returned at checkout. There is no overnight street parking in Providence without a permit.

PLEASE TAKE CAUTION: THERE IS A SPIRAL STAIRCASE IN THE BACK PATIO LEADING TO THE OTHER TENANTS. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND MINDFUL OF IT AND DO NOT CLIMB IT.

This home was lovely from the decor to amenities to the support of the property management. The bed was comfortable and with the blackout shades, we slept great. We had a weather related incident and the property management sent someone immediately and resolved it for us. The location was outstanding - we were close to everything we needed but found we never felt like we needed to leave. The only drawback is there is no overnight parking. There are both interior and access stairs which would be challenging if guests have mobility issues but for us, it was perfect. I hope when we come back in 2 years, we can stay here again.

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!

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!

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!
