I'm a visiting scholar at Brown U and found Alison's ground level flat to be a perfect base for my time. It's close to campus and other amenities--Trader Joe's down the street; great cafe; yoga studio; plus a lovely walk along the riverside.
Alison was welcoming in her messages from the beginning and throughout. I was able to check in early and get settled. All messages were friendly and responsive.
The building is historic and beautiful, but has fully modernized heating and kitchen, so shower water and kitchen use were all comfortable and easy.

I plan to rent again for my time in Providence, for sure.
