This is a home from home for you during your stay. Please use the kitchen, lounge, bathroom and washing room. The bathroom is shared with me as your host. No one else will be staying here during your stay. You'll have exclusive use of an off-road parking space right outside the back door during your stay. A dedicated off-road parking space right outside the back door is yours for your stay. During your stay I live here too, in the other bedroom. I travel fairly often, so there’ll be stretches when you may have apartment entirely to yourself. Either way, you’ll be my only guest; I don't take other bookings alongside yours. Whether I'm here or away, you'll be well looked after. If I'm travelling, I send a video walkthrough beforehand showing you how to get in and how everything works, and I'll call to check you've settled. And my sister lives locally if anything's ever needed in person. I'm often able to collect you from the train or bus station when you arrive, a better welcome, and easier for you after a long journey with a suitcase. Just message to check I'll be around. Other things to note Guests have included dancers on a season with the Welsh Ballet, doctors working at Royal Gwent Hospital, people relocating for work, and visitors from overseas settling in for a few weeks. Whatever brings you to Newport, whether it's a season's work, a new job, a few weeks away from home, I'd love to welcome you here.
