Eric and Dylan (the in-house Host) were both very welcoming and accommodating. Here are some highlights/notes from my stay:
-There are thoughtful, tiny labeled strips strategically placed throughout the house that serve as kind reminders and/or instructions for common areas. I found the messaging to be a pleasant way to help guide guests during their stay. The wording on the labels would sometimes have an underlying theme of comedy, which I appreciated.
-More information on the area is posted inside near the kitchen area. Good for anyone that has an interest for where they are or what to do/eat.
- Coffee station located in the living room. Very nice.
- Strong wifi for remote work
- The bed and pillows were comfortable (This was an A+ for me b/c of my back/neck issues)
- The upstairs room (3rd floor) was really nice, and bigger than how it looked in the pictures. Very spacious with the right amount of furniture for longer stays (couch, ottoman, work desk facing window, dressers, closet with hangers, nightstand).
- Streaming services on the TV is a plus (Hulu/Netflix..I can't remember what else). The TV is closer to the couch and work desk, while the bed is on the other side of the room; however, I didn't have a problem watching the TV from the bed. (about 20 ft give or take).
- Bathroom was very clean.
- The co-host stays on the bottom floor, and is accessible if you have any immediate need. Dylan was kind enough to offer to do my load of laundry even though that service wasn't currently available. He also allowed me to host a work meeting in the living room after checkout hours (I overlooked the 10am checkout time). I stayed about a 45min-hour over checkout time. Big plus for accommodating me on those two items.
- The area was very close to key locations. Brown University and food spots were about a 8 minute drive. Several food options near Brown University. One street near Brown was a popular destination for food places, but I forgot the name. The Airbnb location isn't in an affluent neighborhood/area, and some may interpret that as unsafe or feel uncomfortable. I walked around this area during day/night and it seemed to be safe. I saw a woman walking her dogs at night, a senior citizen couple walking at night, etc. If you're used to high socioeconomic areas, it may be an adjustment for you.
- Parking was behind the house, directly in front of the backyard gate.
Overall, I'd stay here again, especially for extended stays.
