Ok. So, the location is ideal for day trips to Newport.
There really isn’t a space left for you to park in so, we parked in the street & walked across the grass to our gate. The host doesn’t leave much choice, the driveway is full of cars all day & night, some of which have no license plate.
Staying here, you should be aware of a few things. The first bed is not queen, it’s full. The room with the fridge in it IS one of the bedrooms. The other people staying with you have a walk through it to get to bathroom & other bedroom.
The shower was adequate & we had plenty of shower water but the shower walls were covered in soap scum and didn’t appear to be wiped down. The bathroom faucet was pretty crusted with splats. The bathroom window was painted shut. The power for the bathroom tripped off twice due to overload from other people in the main house (guessing because the other rooms we had stayed lit & we weren’t even running AC). Host was asked to reset it after the 1st time (we were out doing activities at the time that she responded) but the 2nd time (again, we had nothing running), we were packing to leave anyhow.
The surface for coffee was fine, could have used a little table in that room for extra surface space though. The floors seemed clean enough. We brought a French press with us to make coffee so, we used the electric kettle that was provided. The little fridge was plenty & that, (along with the microwave) were clean.
Both trash cans were full when we arrived. That wasn’t great. There’s no kitchen sink (which we knew ahead of time) but that being the case, the bathroom sink really should be deeper so you can actually wash dishes.
The first night, the people in the room above us were either bowling or skateboarding across the floor until about 12-12:30. It would have been nice to know there would be people in a room above this apartment. The description that it’s quiet here is not accurate. We finally fell asleep, the bed was comfortable enough so, ok. We were gone all day Saturday and then once back here, decided to spend time on the patio listening to music & chatting. That was fine, we felt we had our own space there. We were not shy about playing music a little on the loud side because clearly, that wasn’t going to bother anyone so, we were able to enjoy our music & relax. That night, the people above were just as loud moving around as the previous night. Again, whatever, finally fell asleep.
I would not stay again. Too loud above us,dirtier than I would expect. Host was nice enough but the space is pretty beat up.
You get what you pay for with this one I guess :)
