Extremely bare bones place. Basically like a hotel- it’s clear no one lives here, it’s just rented out for tourists. Cheap and basic furniture and bedding. Weird kitchen- it took us forever to figure out how to open the cabinet to find silverware. No kitchen amenities beyond the bare bones basic utensils. But by far the biggest problem was the noise. There are no rugs in the unit and clearly no rugs in the unit above because we could hear literally EVERY footfall of the people above us (who had two very rambunctious loud kids). We texted the owner who was responsive and said she’d ask them to quiet down, but then the noise started up again at 7 am the next morning (a Saturday). The owner said they hadn’t had noise complaints before which is extremely difficult for me to believe because it wasn’t just a little noise, it was so loud it sounded like the roof was going to cave at times. Thumping and banging and thudding. It frankly really detracted from our experience. For the amount of money we spent on this place, we were seriously underwhelmed and irritated.
The positives were the location, central to downtown Newport, and the owner was responsive when the noise issues arose.
