Pro- If you cannot find any hotel this is close walking distance to Brown and RISD. Rate was very low.
Con- Its a partial basement level so was super damp. Host has a dehumidifier but running it means you cannot hear yourself think. Wifi was never connecting. Doors to unit were not lockable from outside so unless we missed the process all your stuff is completely on Trust-safety mode if you leave your lodging to do anything in town.
Net, for all top-Airbnbs we have used the 3 cons are not something that come up so maybe if host can resolve these she would have a top rated place as the location is pretty central to East PVD.
