Jim’s place was great. The apartment was sparkling clean, had all the basics, plus some! Everything was well styled, and pretty comfortable. The mattress is a bit firm, but not uncomfortable. The size and layout of the apartment is perfect for 2-3 people.
Jim is also a great host. He was super responsive to our messages and gave some lovely suggestions for our time in Newport. He was also very flexible when we changed the booking slightly. He even left a bottle of wine!
The location is prime if you want to be close to the hustle and bustle. We walked almost everywhere for the few days we were there. There’s a ton of great places to check out and Jim’s place is well situated to explore them all. The only thing I would note is that there is quite a bit of ambient noise due to the location of the apartment. It’s right next to a restaurant that constantly had a fan going in the evening and had garbage being picked up in the morning. If you want total silence for sleeping, this might not be the right place.
