Rose was an incredible host. Her home - the top level of a gorgeous historic home within walking distance of Brown University - is absolutely lovely. My 17-year-old daughter and I were doing a college tour with Brown being one of the schools we were visiting. Our accommodations were beautiful and comfortable and an easy walk to the campus. Rose was very generous with her hospitality, offering to cook us breakfast. She assured us that all prospective students staying in her home are eventually accepted to Brown!!
