The pros
The location of the apartment is perfect and you have walkability through historic newport in all directions. the beds were comfortable. Balcony is a nice addition and great for a morning sit. Bedrooms comfortable. Space is very large.
The cons
Our major issue with this rental is that it stated in the listing “parking on the premises” and that was a deciding factor on why we chose to rent here over other units we were looking at. When we arrived and found the driveway occupied by two cars, we called the host and he informed us that its a shared space with other tenants and that we had to street park in the neighborhood, which offers 1hr and 2hr parking during the day. The spot was occupied the entire stay and it affected our day plans as we did not have anywhere to park the car and leave it without risk of parking tickets. This was a huge mislead and we would not have stayed here had we not been mislead by the info in the listing.
The kitchen amenities to cook at home were lacking and the stove had not been cleaned and the debris smoked up when we began to cook on two of the burners. there was only a 1/4 roll of paper towel with no cleaning supply, vacuum or broom to be found.
