This studio is in a very cool, beautifully renovated historic mansion in a beautiful historic neighborhood of Providence. It's a pleasant 10-minute walk through this neighborhood to get to Brown. George's colleague Lisa (the apartment is managed by an agency) was prompt, professional, and friendly at each step along the way. The studio itself is very stylish, but I did not find the ergonomics of it to be terribly comfortable. The sofa is too hard, the bed is too soft, and neither has a good reading lamp or a real side table to put down a drink.
