William was a fantastic host. He greeted us to give us a personal tour in spite of the late hour of our arrival. He was quick to respond to questions and left us a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy after a long day of travel. His home is well decorated and comfortable, both. The upscale, East Side location is fantastic. There are numerous restaurants, shops and cafes within a short walking distance. This is an especially great place to stay for anyone visiting Brown University. The neighborhood not only invites walking, but for those who want to experience the best of New England, access to the freeways and roads leading to beaches and the historic towns of R.I. and Massachusetts is close and convenient.
