The property was amazing! We loved the location and ease of walking around newport without needing or car. Parking was a little bit of a pain since the street parking is very specific with times, so we had to pay to park in a lot over night. The place had all theamenities you would need

Incredible location located right in the heart of Newport located right by the world famous Bannisters and Bowens Wharf. Super walkable to all the main attractions: Cliff walk, mansions, tennis HOF, wharf, and all the top restaurants and bars. Cozy spot that comfortably sleeps a couple or two for a Newport getaway.

The location of this property is simply amazing, you can get anywhere you could possibly want around Newport on foot. We got lucky with street parking and never chanced moving the car again!
The house is great. Loads of space, very comfortable, and we got to see an incredible sunset from the roof deck. I would absolutely love to stay here again.

Smack dab centered in the city. Almost 1,900 ft² of accommodation on two floors. Very clean and well kept.
Object slightly to the fact that the house rules have added house keeping duties that must occur before checkout. Making customers responsible for making beds, left a question in my mind that for our stay, it was done in a sanitary manner.

My wife and I decided to tack a few days onto the backend of a week on Cape Cod. Had never been to Newport and thought it would be a good choice. This being the peak of the summer season and induction week at the Tennis Hall of Fame, last minute options were limited and expensive. 26 Franklin was a fair solution. Pros/cons.
Location - could not have been better; everything in walking distance. Side street location was quiet, with minimal traffic. No reserved parking with property. You might get lucky with street parking nearby or you might not.
Property features - two floors (2nd and 3rd) above retail; stairs from floor 2 to 3 are very steep with narrow steps, use caution; furnishings/amenities functional, but dated; window unit AC unable to properly cool rooms during warm spell, even at night.
Owner/manager communication - responsive, but not proactive; no welcome email and had to request access code on day of arrival.
Technology - Wi-Fi setup super easy by scanning a QR code that connects your device to their Wi-Fi. Would be nice to have instructions on TV options - local tv for news?
Pet Peeve - owner requires guests to 1) wash and dry all towels, 2) take out trash, 3) run dishwasher and 4) strip beds and remake with clean sheets. And we are charged a cleaning fee. After spending a significant amount on rental this sucks.
Summary - OK in a pinch. Would I rent again with normal lead time? Nope.

We stayed at this lovely apartment for a wedding nearby, it was walking distance to everything and fully stocked with anything you could need. Check in was very easy as was communicating with the owners. We will definitely stay here again.

It's a great property with plenty of space, two bathrooms, and an amazing location. Couldn't have asked for anything better or more convenient. We didn't get to spend enough time on the roofdeck, but the limited time we spent up there was well worth it, and the views were stellar.

A few friends and I stayed here when in town for a wedding and it was just what we needed and more! Location was very walkable. Tons of space. AND a fabulous rooftop with bay views! Can’t recommend this listing enough. Will definitely stay again when in the area. Also, the shops downstairs are wonderful!

Great location and spacious apartment - check-in could not have been more straightforward. Gregg and Kerri-Lynn were super responsive and kindly allowed some flexibility with luggage storage upon departure. The evening views and breeze from the rooftop deck were a highlight.
