Wonderful spot!!

Me and my 2 friends stayed here for a holiday weekend and it was a wonderful experience! Very cute and perfect location! The bed itself was very comfortable and the pullout bed was also a great size. Would not recommend more than 4 people (2 to a bed) but was a great experience!

Perfect place and perfect location!

The property was beautiful. It had the Newport vibe and everything you needed. It's also in the ideal location- you are right by everything downtown without getting all the noise. We were able to park our car in the provided space and just walk to everything we needed! I would highly recommended and definitely stay there again myself.

Adorable

This apartment is so cute! We came up for a quick getaway on a rainy weekend and it was amazing to have such a cute warm place to stay! The bed, tub, and fireplace really made this stay amazing. It is an older building so be mindful the people above can be heard but that bed makes it all melt away! I highly recommend this place as it’s so comfortable and convenient!

Fantastic!

Perfect location for a quick walk down to the avenue & the water as well as lovely shops on Spring St. Our unit was clean, cozy & charming with all amenities provided. The hosts were wonderful. A list was provided with suggestions of places to go in the area. Prompt response to any questions. An iconic updated place to stay in Newport. Will definitely be back! Thank you so much for an awesome weekend!

Excellent location - park and go

Being able to park our car and walk everywhere was fantastic. The house was beautiful and clean. The bed was super comfy. Highly recommend this location. Do not expect a quiet night during the summer as Newport is hopping right into the wee hours. But if you’re looking to enjoy the downtown area and everything it has to offer like we were - this is the place to be!

Very convenient, comfortable lodging in Newport - walking distance to shopping, dining, and the ITHF. Well appointed with refrigerator, microwave, good internet, sofabed with linens, extra towels, robes and COFFEE (Keurig with plentiful Kcups). Had some issues with electrical in the unit, but apparently the city had been working in the area, so breakers for A/C and the very nice jetted tub needed to be reset. Owners were just a text message away, and they were very responsive and made sure everything was working very quickly. Parking can be challenging with 3 spaces 4 units, but this was worked out, with a quick call a convenient space was found. Very glad to stay here and enjoy a quieter time after the summer rush.

Great experience - very nice apartment

This was a birthday getaway from MA. The place was as described, It was in a very convenient location in town and very quiet. We walked to town for food and to the wharf and some of the sites. The only thing that did not cooperate was the weather! We had a problem setting up the TV and after calling Matthew for directions he came over to set it up which was very kind of him. The apartment was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I would probably stay in the second floor next time - as an older building with wood floors even regular footsteps could be heard down below. Thank you for sharing this space in Newport. Hope to revisit.

Cute “cottage” and great location. We got in late on Saturday afternoon and the parking spaces were taken, so had to find parking in the street. Loved being able to walk everywhere, including to the trolley.

Perfect for a couple, not for 3

The location was adorbs, the bed was awesome, so was the bathtub! Our issue, which we didnt notice in the photos, is that the door to the bedroom is a french door. Adorable, but unfortunate when you travel with a teen, or if 2 friends travelled together(the couch is a sleeper sofa). We were happy for this option, but wish we had noticed in the pics that privacy exists only in the bathroom.

Disapointing

Last year we had a magnificent experience. This time our stay was quite disappointing. In just one year the property is showing a good amount of deterioration and lack of upkeep (inside and out). Our room had no toilet seat lid, sink valve leaks, all the towels were musty, TV/remote did not work, pillows were horrible, pillow cases dirty. This is just to name a few. Glad to discuss my overall experience over a phone call.
