I booked here for a visit to my daughter at Brown. The location is too far for back & forth during the day, but I was able to hike the 2 miles daily and Lyft back in the evening. The neighborhood is a bit edgy, but as a middle-aged man, I felt totally safe.
The room was cute and clean, and exactly as advertised; complimentary bottled water and snacks were a nice bonus. The kitchenette was well stocked. As the nights get colder, extra bedding might be needed. I suggest checking with Alex before your trip if you get cold easily, to either request a comforter or figure out if you need to bring your own blanket.
