We stayed at Denise's place following Labor Day. The apartment was not up to the standard we expected for the price and the area is ok, but we enjoyed our time in Newport much more.
The kitchenette does not have a sink, so you have to wash dishes in the bathroom sink. There was a bit of a smell in the apartment likely due to humidity, and the sheets and towels all had an unpleasant smell. Luckily we brought our own towels and were able to use these. The "private porch" faces a two way street and is connected with the other first floor units, so it does not feel private.
The check-in was in person, which we found unusual during the COVID pandemic, and we would suggest that a contact-less check-in be setup like other places we have stayed in. Also in the area, the majority of people are not wearing masks, while in Newport it is almost 100%, which also made us much more comfortable.
