Very hospitable hosts. The location is excellent, and it's wonderful to have a parking spot. The basement apartment is a good place to crash-- but not much more. It is clean and safe, but not luxurious or relaxing. For example, the floor is plywood with several rugs spread out on top. The temperature can vary quite widely in the basement, and we were a bit cold. But the apartment was clean and as described, so if you are looking for a budget place to lay your head in close proximity to Brown, this might be a good fit for you!
