Lori's place was just as described and so convenient from the Stony Brook T station. For half of my stay, I took public transit and it could not have been easier. For the other half, I had a car and easily found parking within half a block of the rental. I felt really safe, the streets were well lit, and the room was just what I needed for a busy graduation weekend with events and dinners. Also, nearby Mexican restaurant, Chilacates, was perfect for grabbing takeout on my way from the T station to Lori's place. I had a late arrival and they're open until 11p.
