Gary's place was exactly what we needed for the weekend. I was running a half marathon in Newport with a group of friends, and it offered central location, hot shower, and a cozy space to recover. The location really is fantastic – you can walk to a number of bars and restaurants, and are very close to the beautiful parts of Newport. Checkin was also very easy, with a code to get in.
The apartment is definitely a bit sparse. Decor is very entertaining (a mix of band posters, prints of artwork, and rock), but we enjoyed it. I would note that the mattresses could use some updating.
Other than that, Gary's place is a fantastic value for Newport! Great spot, easy checkin, and has everything you need.
