We had a nice stay in Newport. This unit is a solid 4, and with a few upgrades could be a 5 star place in Newport.
The good:
- beds were comfortable and about half the pillows were comfortable
- location: 15-20 minute walk to wharf, 20 minute walk to the cliff walk, good coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance
-street was quiet at night
-felt safe
-quick response from owners
What could be improved:
-living room sectional is extremely uncomfortable, almost laughable. It is hard wicker like material with very old and worn out cushions. This was disappointing since there is no other place to hang out. This would be a very easy upgrade for the owners and really should be done.
-TV is very small - again an easy upgrade to make the hang out session enjoyable
-tall kitchen table and chairs are not really comfortable either. This I knew about from the pictures. Again, I think this could be improved for guests.
-very thin blanket on beds. Could offer a few extra blankets in the closets.
Other:
-lots of noise from unit above, likely related to the age of the home and the wood floors. Luckily for us, they had children and went to bed early so not an issue overnight. But beware, could be a problem for you.
-small bathroom
Overall, we enjoyed our stay but probably wouldn’t be back unless those upgrades were made so it was more comfortable.
