Gladys' house is adorable! During Covid times, its a toss-up on what you'll be receiving nowadays but her house was super clean (fresh linens/towels) and in a perfect location. It's her regular home so the house is like a working home - dishes, glasses, cleaning supplies, condiments, bathroom toiletries, etc. She was great at communicating on what to expect and everything met our expectation.
It was our first time in Newport and we wanted a location that was close to downtown but a little removed from the business so we could properly social distance. Her house is in a 100% residential area but it was a quick 15 minute walk down the street to Bowen's Wharf, where a lot of the action is. We Uber-ed for longer trips- when we went to the Breakers, it was about a $20 Uber. She does have two parking spots at her house though which is very clutch because the neighborhood doesn't really offer street parking.
The house is super cute and really home-y - the two bathrooms were great to have while getting ready. We heard a little street noise late at night when people would walk by talking right under our windows but the neighborhood does have "quiet hours" late at night so we didn't hear any parties or anything.
This is definitely a house for a low key weekend, not a crazy bachelorette weekend - you follow the neighborhood vibe of quiet and respectful for sure.
