This was a cozy place within a short driving distance to central Newport, on a nice, quiet well maintained street.
However the interior of the apartment, while clean and tidy, was slightly shabby and basic. It is basically a converted garage with no windows in either of the bedrooms. The main lights in the bathroom (above the mirror) didn’t work and the place would smell slightly musty. There was plenty of towels in the bathroom which was nice but the whole feel of the place was quite “thrown together” and it felt like a very simple and basic student apartment with cheap furniture, bed linen and trimmings. It certainly was not worth the $600+ we paid to stay there for 2 nights at the weekend. The communication from the hosts was very basic and as of now, 3 days after checking out, they still haven’t responded to my note. It all feels like there was zero care put into the hosting. We chose it because there was not much accommodation available in Newport at short notice and while it was adequate, I wouldn’t recommend it due to the high price vs the low quality.
