So right now, the apartment is great for a small group of friends (3 or 4) or a couple with maybe two kids who want some space to spread out. The sleeper is broken and can't be used. It needs to be replaced. There is NO DINING AREA. The apartment has a 3'x3' countertop and nowhere else to sit and eat. Granted, it's Newport. No one is staying in and cooking dinner but if you want to eat breakfast and sit and you have 3-6 people in the apartment..eating at a table isn't happening. The coffee table needs to be replaced too. It's unstable and I have suggested to the owners to replace it with something much larger. The bedrooms are cozy and the whole place is super clean. There isn't enough bedding (blankets, pillows etc) I would speak to the hosts about making sure you have enough to accommodate the people in your group. The location is great. End of Spring Street. There is a lot of jockeying for parking. You can park overnight 6pm-7am without getting a ticket but the parking is VERY limited. Then the parking moves to a 2 hour limit. It sucks but we made it work. Street is loud. It's a first floor apartment with 2 other apartments above. It was quiet at night. We slept fine, but if you have someone who might sleep in the LR- bring noise reducing ear plugs and a eye mask. Overall, nice stay. I would stay again if the hosts made a small investment in some changes.
