Great location for Brown University visitors. Roomy, clean, and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing location for Brown and College Hill. Super easy check-in, parking was so convenient, plus an easy walk to tons of restaurants, coffee shops, grocery store, and the university.
We were in town because of my niece having surgery at Hasbro children hospital. This apartment was close to everything and easy to get in and out of. We werenât there much but everything it provided was clean and comfortable. Communication was excellent and they were very accommodating to the requests that I had made. Would certainly recommend it and would stay again.
Super clean apartment, comfortable mattresses, and quick responses from host. Nice-size living room, small bedrooms and very tiny bathroom. Low ceilings throughout, so best if you're on the small side. Very central location on the east side, especially good if you want to be walking distance to Brown and shops and restaurants.
Location could not have been better. Place was immaculate and within a 10 minute walk to all of our interests. Really quiet area and convenient free parking. Exactly as advertised. No surprises.
This was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed when travelling for work. Having been recently renovated, everything about the apartment is in great shape. It was quiet, clean, functional, and comfortable. Check-in, check-out, etc. were all extremely easy. The value for money was absolutely excellent.
Great location. Close to food, entertainment and activity. Nice 1st floor property. Parking is close. Review the messages to find the parking-can be a little bit confusing. Coffee provided. 2nd bedroom is a futon, but comfortable. Might be tough for more than 3. Overall---I really liked it.
