Pros: The location is excellent in terms of proximity to a very good cafe (L'Artisan) for coffee and breakfast/lunch, a (woman-oriented) barre/yoga studio, and a walkable neighborhood (try in particular Blackstone Boulevard and the Blackstone park). Brown University is about a 15 minute walk, together with all the nearby movie theater (Avon) and inexpensive restaurants. Very near a bus stop to travel quickly downtown. Apartment, particularly the kitchen, was well outfitted and cleaned. The apartment felt quite private; we could not hear much at all from the second floor (also a rental). Host was very responsive to questions and small issues that arose. A professional maintenance person is sent to handle problems (in our case a small leak from the sink.)
Possible concerns: Memory foam mattress for the bed. South Angell Street is busier with traffic than you'd think from the map, and one of the bedroom windows faces out to the street, so you may hear some street noise in the morning and pedestrians late at night. Access to the apartment is up three flights of relatively narrow stairs. Kitchen sink configuration is a little awkward.
