The hosts were gracious and helpful when my son requested early admittance to the apartment. We were in the area for a family funeral, and the facility was comfortable and comforting. There are a number of cute restaurants and cafes up on Hope Street, within reasonable walking distance, although the immediate neighborhood is not as charming as the area closer to Brown and RISD. It isn't too far from those more attractive areas, and it's very convenient to the Interstate.
Matt and Nish were perfect hosts, and the facility is well appointed.
