Liliane has a nice little place in the heart of downtown Newport. Not only was it in a good location but also pet-friendly which was very important since my girlfriend and I had our dog with us. It was nice of Liliane to be accommodating of that.
Our only unfortunate experiences involved not hearing from Liliane as we were on our way there, upon arrival, and during check-out. I had messaged her as we were getting ready to head to Newport and then once we arrived. She did not immediately answer. We pulled into a parking lot across the street and waited a few minutes and then I tried calling her phone and there was no answer. It was very cold outside and we wanted to be sure she was here prior to going to the building.
Eventually, we decided to deal with the cold and head over. As we walked up we met an older gentleman who apparently had our keys to the unit we were staying in. He let us in and everything was easy after that, just a confusing start given that there was no communication.
We also didn't know what to do with the key during check-out so we left it with the little hotel downstairs. I left Liliane a message telling her where we left the key, thanked her for her hospitality and never heard from her.
This was an extremely cold week in December and the heat did it's best but it was cold in the apartment at times. Fortunately, the unit also had a space heater.
The bath was also a big hit.
Overall, Liliane's place was a great place to stay, probably better when it's not during a polar vortex and if communication had been a little bit better. I would still recommend the place for couples with pets or that are just looking for a small place to get away.
