As a visiting scholar at Brown, I was fully satisfied with the apartment-- great location, beautiful views, full of sun and city skylines, and well equipped for a comfortable stay. Hamzah was friendly and responsive. The space was clean and comfortable.
My only warning for future guests would be the steep stairs can be hard to navigate with luggage.Otherwise, the heat and water were easy to control and the kitchen was good for cooking simple meals.
Location is close to Trader Joe's, cafes, yoga studio, wine store, and RISD museum, walk along the riverside, and all of Brown U buildings. I would recommend Persimmon and Oberlin-- local restaurants.
