The location is great if visiting Brown because just steps from the campus. You're also just a couple blocks from the park along the Providence River. We were a little worried about parking (instructions were clear but we know parking is tight in the area), but parking was easy. We were able to get a spot on the street with no trouble, and you can park for 2 hours between 10 am and 6 pm. The guest parking permit in the rental let's you park all the time but the 2 hours without a permit made arrival and departure easy.
