Lovely Brownstone in a great location

This wonderful restored brownstone is beautifully decorated and in a great location. It’s a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the Farmer’s Market. It’s also walkable to the RPI campus. The owners were very helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. I will definitely stay here again.
