My friend and I stayed at Alex's listing for our class' RISD reunion weekend this fall. The location is perfectly situated for access to either RISD or Brown's campus and within easy walking distance of Downtown Providence and Federal Hill. One thing to be aware of when staying: there are no convenience stores within the immediate area to easily grab coffee/tea/breakfast, Thayer Street seems to be the closest or RISD's Carr Haus on the corner of Benefit & Waterman, when open. Our weekend was planned out meal-wise so no suggestions for restaurants other than DenDen, which is a block away & yummy.
Make sure to read the directions for opening the locks (or watch the video), there is a trick for the front door. Otherwise, it's easy to access them. Alex is also incredibly responsive to messages/texts, and very helpful. He made the stay a pleasure.
