BUYER BEWARE! Being that we both run Performing Arts Centers in the music industry, it was imperative that my friend and I attend the Newport Jazzfest. We found what was supposed to be a nice apartment with “great views”- it was expensive- but I got a home health care provider for my father and away we went. I have spent upwards of $500 a night for a room- so I didn’t mind spending that each night for this weekend. However, what we got was NOT $500/night accommodations. As soon as we entered, we noticed a musty, mildew smell- which I have associated with cat litter and perhaps mold - but we were told there were no animals so I assumed it was just musty-ness and would go away once we opened the windows. It did not. After pulling out the pull out couch, the additional mattress topper, which was needed to sleep comfortably, was wet. Without any choice- we used it- and my friend slept on a damp musty pull out all night. I woke up with swollen eyes, that itched so bad I had to leave the apartment. I don’t know if a past user of the apartment brought a cat or not- but it was either a cat or mold – but something affected me to the point where it was hard for me to stay there. That, along with only two towels for the both of us, one garbage can (none in the bathroom), loud music playing until 2AM, and a few other issues- made it so that we had to leave, forfeit our $350 per person VIP tickets to Sunday’s Jazz Fest and then got nasty text messages from the owner when we alerted him to the situation. Good points: an amazing coffee shop next door….which the owner also owns- he made it clear to us that he “owned the block…so good luck ladies” (that’s a literal quote- who talks like that?)
