Disappointed. Misrepresented listing. Location is across from a pizza shop that is open until 2am. Screaming & yelling until after 3am. Be ready for no sleep. Parking is not convenient & many old unsafe stairs for those who may have issues. Have been coming to Newport for 20 yrs have never left a negative review. Was going to stay where we did last year, also on Thames but this time was willing to pay the extra 700 more for âa water viewâ. View was of a dirty alleyway with trash dumpster & a sliver of the water if you stood a certain way. This is a no shoes allowed property however, the carpets are dirty, the back bathroom floors were grossly sticky. Bathmat was filthy & towels smelled musty & damp. I did contact them before leaving review & received a generic response. Asked if my concerns were relayed to the owner/host & was told no & was told the management would get back to me & was ghosted. I was never looking for a monetary resolution but instead a response from owner so he was aware especially of the poor cleaning. I own my own property that I rent out in PA & handle any concerns very differently. Hopefully this helps someone else make a decision on where to stay.
We were in town for a family wedding and very much enjoyed our stay here. No water views from any of the rooms, but the location is great for being near shops and restaurants. The apartment is in the heart of it all. This also means you hear street noise until all hours -- but I brought ear plugs. Lol. Most importantly, the unit offers two parking spaces in a nearby garage. This is super, given how hard parking is in downtown Newport. The loft appeared to be newly renovated (kitchen, etc.) Everything was clean upon our arrival. Beds and bedding were comfortable. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again!
This place was great! Very clean and spacious! The location was amazing, though it got loud at night, each room had a sound machine which was a great touch!
We loved the loft, plenty of room for our family. Had a lot of friends come by as well because of its great location. Property is very clean, just as pictured. Street noise no issue as we are sound sleepers. Perfect location for everything Newport! Would definitely stay again.
If you stay up until 3am and don't mind constant yelling and spotlights shining in your room all night from the parking lot outside of your bedroom than this is the place for you!!! There was a saxophone player with a boom box and people yelling all night long outside of our windows. It is right across the street from a late night pizza shop. I expressed my concern about the noise to Vrbo and they replied that Newport is a lively place. Raucous, disorderly and disruptive would more accurately describe what was going on outside this unit. In the contract we were told there was a strict noise ordnance from 10pm to 8am. Clearly it is not enforced yet we would be fined 100 if the police were called to the unit. We did call the police about the noise but they were no help. The curtains are paper thin so the spotlight from the parking lot lit up our room as if it were the middle of the day.....4 nights of little to no sleep...they did provide noise machines but it couldn't get loud enough to drowned out the noise
Exactly as we were expecting! Beautiful, bright, comfortable and perfectly located! Exceptional detail in amenities provided. Communications with host were quick , friendly and very easy. Outstanding response time. Thoughtful placement of Sound machine in bedrooms helped with the late night noisy neighborhood which wasnât overly troublesome just a bit frustrating. Overall an exceptionally great experience and we would happily return to stay again!
The house was absolutely beautiful and exactly as pictured. The location was amazing. We were centrally located to stores, restaurants, etc. It was really the perfect location. The only negative (which is of no fault of the house / owner) is the neighborhood was very loud at night. There were parties going on until 3 in the morning with people shouting which made sleeping difficult.
Incredible stay. Location perfect. Off street parking HUGE bonus. Bedrooms were large, living area bright open and spacious. CLEAN! Definite booking again!
The apartment was perfect. Cozy and clean. Right in downtown and convenient to everything. A little loud at night due to young kids leaving bars, but the owner was thoughtful enough to supply sound machines in all the rooms. Would definitely stay again.
This was the coolest place! As soon as we got there we were so pleased and excited. The owner graciously let us in a few hours early for check in. It was so clean and such a fun location. No complaints or concerns about this place! Highly, highly recommend.
Property was great! Very clean and close to a lot of bars and restaurants. We did get woken up at 1am when all of the 20 years old got out of the bars ⊠but comes with the location!
We loved the location. Took two days to warm up the place but we understood it was empty prior to our arrival. It was clean and very inviting. We will be back again! Just not in January lol. We did get to see a beautiful snowfall from the front room. The windows gave us an amazing view.
