Tom is very responsive and accommodating host. He answered all my questions in timely manner and gave very clear and detail instruction for our late night arrival. Although we only stayed there for one night and never got a chance to meet Tom, we felt welcomed. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and is within walking distance to Brown and RISD (the school that we visited for an open house event). It is also nice to have a dedicated parking spot for the night. The inside of the apartment is as described. Nothing fancy but clean. If you are parents who come visit your children at Brown or RISD and want to have a safe and affordable place for a good nigh sleep, this could be the place.
