This is a beautiful, well appointed rental! My 13 yo daughter and I stayed for a week and Juan was a terrific host. We walked most places and it is close to Thames St, Bellevue Ave (where the mansions are), Cliff Walk and more. We had everything we needed and Juan was so accommodating and lovely. It was great to have a dedicated parking spot! Juan left cold waters and white claws in the fridge for us - now that’s some nice customer service!
Three things to note: there are only AC units in the bedrooms. Fans are in every other room but it can get a little warm. We opened the windows and got a lot of cross ventilation, and were lucky to have a cool-ish week. We also don’t like to be AC frozen so this worked for us.
The neighborhood is a mix of cool restaurants and bars, and some sketchier things. We are ok with a mixed neighborhood but for those who want something more suburban or safer, you might be a little uncomfortable. We never felt uncomfortable but there are a few services on Broadway that serve transient or indigent folks. Two blocks from there is some of the most expensive real estate in Newport so go figure! It’s just a small area and these neighborhoods overlap.
Last, as others have mentioned, the second flight of stairs to the unit are narrow and steep. Again, fine for us but folks with mobility challenges would have a very hard time.
Thanks to Juan for a great vacation!
