I stayed at Travis' place for three weeks while visiting colleagues at Brown. The location was perfect for this. The layout of the apartment was great for just one person. It was clean, and had all the necessary amenities. Having a fun sized washer and dryer in the place was really great, since I was there for so long. Travis was also great about answering questions, and flexible when I needed it.
As the ad says, it's a garden apartment so there's not much privacy from the street if you open the shutters. Since I was gone all day I just kept them closed and this wasn't an issue for me. Also, you can hear conversation from the upstairs apartment very clearly, but they were usually pretty quiet in the evenings when I was home. In the three weeks I was there, I only heard people talking three or four times, and it was very easy for me to tune them out.
