SPECIAL NOTE - OUR SLEEPER SOFAS
Not all sleeper sofas are created equal—and trust us, we’ve tested a LOT of them! After a year of searching, sitting, and yes… even napping, we finally found “THE ONE.” These premium sleeper sofas are so comfy that even adults can get a great night’s sleep. We invested over $15,000 upgrading them across our properties, so go ahead—test ours out… you won’t be disappointed!
SLEEPING AREA:
The primary bedroom is spacious featuring a queen bed, matching modern nightstands set with lamps and a white noise sound machine, a dresser and a convenient, dedicated workspace with desk making it easy to catch up on work and emails. A beautifully styled built-in shelf stretches across the wall, great for extra storage.
BATHROOM:
Across is a bright, well-appointed bathroom that features a large walk-in shower, a modern vanity and an in-unit washer and dryer. The bathroom is fully stocked with the essentials that any guest would need including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and a hair dryer to ensure a smooth and convenient stay.
THE BUILDING:
From the charming brick exterior to the bright, modern interior, this apartment perfectly blends historic character with fresh, stylish design. It’s in a friendly and safe neighborhood right across from the Ivy league Brown University. The apartment is on the 1st floor, yet there are 4 steps into the building and 3 steps into the apartment. We can accommodate up to 6 guests. Despite the thorough renovations of all our apartments, the building itself remains an older structure and is considered unsuitable for young children. However, if your children are 2 years or older and you understand these considerations, we would be happy to accommodate your stay. There is one off-street parking spot in the lot diagonally across the street from the apartment.
