This host misrepresented the property. The whole unit smells of cigarettes, the bathroom is dirty and moldy, as are other areas of the unit, there is no central air conditioning as she claims, and you cannot “easily” walk to town. It’s at least double the distance described. An Uber or Lyft would be needed. Shortly after I spoke to the host on the phone and complained, it became very noisy below us with someone in the garage repeatedly opening and closing the garage door. As we were leaving we saw a man in the garage running a loud table saw or other piece of similar equipment sharpening knives. Very odd and a little creepy. Meg was rude and abrasive when I complained. She actually texted us told to just leave and go home if we weren’t happy. We hadn’t even been there 30 minutes. My husband and I had driven to Newport from north east Massachussetts to go to the Newport Jazz Festival, a yearly trip we love. We had to leave because of the condition of the property and our short vacation was ruined. There was no other availability in any hotel in the area at short notice. We drove 6 hours round trip with traffic that day. This woman has another property across the street. I encourage everyone to be very cautious in dealing with her. There was a prior complaint about cigarette smell in an earlier review that I asked about before I booked. She denied any problems and I trusted her. After I arrived and contacted her she said no one had ever smoked there, then apologized and said she had “just” learned a prior guest had been smoking outside. That just isn’t credible. The smell is embedded into the wall to wall stair carpet, drapes, futon cushions, etc. She was not honest with us and it cost us more than just money. I will add I have all the photos, texts and emails to confirm my description of these events.
