I read all of the positive reviews of this place and I wonder if they were staying in the same apartment that we were. Maybe because it was off season the place was less looked after, but it is hard to believe everyone else could possibly think it is so great.

Were the other reviewers told 24 hours before check-in that pets were not allowed on furniture, despite that rule not being mentioned in the listing.

When they arrived, were half of the light bulbs in the house either dead or missing? When they asked about it, were they told "there may be bulbs in the closet or sink area"? (they weren't).

For those staying in the winter, was the air conditioner still in the bedroom window? Was the top of the window open to the frigid air with no way to close it?

Did they discover at 10pm that there was no extra toilet paper to be found?

Were even the basic pantry staples , like salt and pepper, provided? Had the cable TV been deactivated?

What I would say to future guests is the following: if you value location above all else, this is the place for you. It is right in the heart of Newport but on a quiet side street.

But if you want to stay in a home, a place where you get the feeling that the owner values the comfort of his guests, then stay somewhere else.
