Great value/ good pricing compared to the rest of Newport prices.
Quirky place with decent size space on the third floor suite, and open roof skylights were neat to have fresh air. The tap water filter was nice to have, and plenty of kitchen tools for whatever you need- found an electric kettle for tea (except no microwave). However a few big issues; none of the spaces were definitely not toddler safe. It took a lot of effort to remove breakable, "decorative" clutter. We're talking FULL tables of random stuff along every wall and nook and cabinets FULL of glass wear at floor level. Felt like being in the room of requirement from Harry Potter- or if you dont understand that reference, then someone's storage attic. The bed was very old and tilted toward the head and slanted to the right. Made us sleep on top of each other in a queen bed. The bathroom was not very clean- my toddler found large clumps of long black hair in the shower drain, and toilet was not recently cleaned. The owner was friendly, but it was a very quirky place. Potentially a GREAT place that could charge even more, IF the owner updated the place a bit with newer towels (these were clearly 10 years old), bed linens and decluttered quite a bit. The breakfast part was decent for regular non-diet restricted people, but limited to bagles, jam, peanut butter, dairy milk, coffee, raisin bran and yogurt. Being gluten and dairy intolerant, not a lot of choices for us to use- I know it's not necessarily expected to provide for allergies, but we've had some fantastic Airbnbs ask us to list allergies before and they usually graciously accommodated our needs. We ended up staying on the third floor private space for an extra $20 the owner asked for when we arrived, as the original room we booked turned out to be a single bedroom in a shared common space /kitchen on the second floor and we didn't realize we'd be having no private space for our 1.5 year old to move around other than a few feet around our bed. Ok for one night on a budget, but again, kinda odd- also the owner doesn't give out keys the your room, so no way to lock up your things when you leave which we found odd since there's multiple people staying in the house, and he leaves the front door wide open all day (with music blasting at the front door until dark) and all night. I'm assuming it's a safe neighborhood, but some people might not like that. You can lock a dead bolt on your room door while you're in it, but no way to secure your things while out.
