Pat is a gracious host. It was a nice experience. I totally felt at home. Pat is a wonderful person. I felt like I stayed with my mom. She always greeted me with a warm smile and listened to my stories of the day :-). She always made sure breakfast was ready although I used to leave very early for my class @ Brown. She is very helpful, she drove me to the local Whole Foods on my day one and helped me pick my husband up from the Amtrak station. I will recommend Pat's place very highly.
