Apartment is cute, renovated and just as described. Centrally located, an easy walk to Thames street.
Tips for guests. Parking is definitely a pain. I feel the host should look into renting a couple of spaces in the parking lot next door to alleviate the problem. In all fairness, the parking situation is outlined in the description but I just wasn't prepared for how inconvenient it was. Also very, very tight. Street parking is non-existent.
Not for anyone with mobility issues or small children. As in most old homes, the stairs are incredibly steep and narrow. The floors are very swayed and un-level so you might find your self stumbling.
No ice maker or ice-trays, so bring your own. Kitchen doesn't have much in the way of cookware but this wasn't a problem for us at all as cooking is not on my agenda while on vacation. If you are planning on eating in, there is no dining table - just a small bar in the living room that can accommodate 3 people.
Bathroom is very small and on the first floor of the apartment.
Lots of street noise, again to be expected in an old home in Newport.
Very nice stay for 2 people in reasonable physical condition. Amanda is easy to communicate with and replies promptly.
