This was a pleasant, modern 3-bedroom/2-bathroom apartment in a safe and historic neighborhood which was within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. There was a small high-end shopping center across the street with a grocery store, a CVS and a wine shop. The apartment was above a very cool chocolate and cupcake store and you needed to climb a stairway up the side of the building in order to reach it.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and modern and the kitchen was well-stocked. Check-in and checkout were simple and intuitive. The host, Whitney, communicated well and was very easy to work with. We greatly appreciated her flexibility in allowing us to check-in 2 hours early.
Overnight parking on Williams Street was pretty easy. However, during the day, there’s a 3-hour limit in effect on Williams Street and it was necessary to move the car each morning to one of the unrestricted parking streets that were just a few minutes walk away.
There’s an Italian restaurant next door which has an outdoor balcony. The noise of restaurant patrons talking and laughing was audible until the restaurant closed at about 11 PM. If you’re an early to bed person (as I am), you might want to take that into account.
Overall, a very positive experience. My wife and I were in Newport and stayed here with another couple for 3 nights in October 2021 and we all had fun.
