We had a fantastic month in Newport despite a few minor hiccups. Rachel was incredibly responsive and helped us resolve any questions or issues we had quickly. I also appreciated that she was willing to share her number for quick communication as needed.
Pros:
- Centrally located. Walking distance (6-7 minutes) to Broadway area where there are many great bars and restaurants, as well as the Cliff Walk (~12-15 minute walk)
- You really get the best of both worlds. The house is tucked in a quieter neighborhood but only a five minute drive to downtown Newport
- The space is big and open. My boyfriend and I were both working remotely for the month, so this was key in ensuring we had space for calls and virtual meetings without interrupting each other
- Laundry was easy access right downstairs which was great. We were able to get it done during the day while working and never had any issues sharing it with the upstairs tenant.
Cons:
- The WiFi is somewhat spotty. We would unplug/replug the router 2-3 times a week to combat outages while we were working. This was a bit frustrating given we were reliant on it for work.
- The heat is controlled by the upstairs unit, which we did not have access to (someone stays upstairs). Because it is an older home it would either be very hot or very cold. We combatted this by keeping the windows open when we could.
