Friend hang out

We had a great time. It was a perfect place for us to hang out with my teenage daughter's friend who is a local. We enjoyed just chilling and relaxing after a day at the Newport Aquarium. Would stay again. We want to try Papsy's ice cream.

Visiting Family in the area

Great location. Older building but roomy. Hosts were easy to contact, and check-in and check-out was a breeze. Some street noise but not too bad. Appliances were good. Will stay again.

Old but comfortable

Was clean and adequately supplied. Icemaker did not work. Every floor is on a different level. WATCH YOUR STEP! If you are over 5 ft tall, WATCH YOUR HEAD going up the second set of steps inside.

Cozy but outdated

It was easy to find and get inside. It is very oudated and could clean the place better. No hot water in kitchen sink. Bed was comfy and was pretty quiet there. It was ok since we inly stayed 2 nights.

Great Place

The apartment is very roomy and comfortable. And very convenient for activities in Wilmington area. Only suggestion would be it needs a snow shovel, basic salt and pepper, and a personal preference would be darkening curtains for the bedroom. We definitely hope to stay here again.

Charming rooms however the steps and entry were lacking. Very rickety steps and small landing made the entry bordering on dangerous.

Adore

This was our second stay at Nana's Nest . The area is surrounded by great shops and activities that are fun for the whole family. Our family Loved this apartment, which was clean, safe and filled with all amenities that any person would need.. Tara and her family made us feel comfortable, and right at home when we arrived. We were able to visit our family and return to the apartment and prepare our meals and rest easily each night we returned . We have already booked for our next trip!

Thrilled with this space and stay

We love old houses and loved staying here. Any old house quirks were charming and not uncomfortable in the slightest. Beds were comfy. Lots of extra comforts provided (coffee and creamer, robe, etc). I LOVED that one of the twin beds was set up in the living room right off the bedroom. My toddler was happy to sleep in it because she could see us, but it was far enough away that our phones and lights didn't bother her. We attend the Ren Faire every year and will stay here each time we come! Was about 15 min from the faire (Also lots of fun restaurants and little shops near the house.)

The property is super quaint and cute. Stuff is in a bit of disrepair but I didnt expect hotel quality. Its super cute and the host added lots of personal touches. What we didn't like was the fact that we had to wash our own dishes, take out the trash, and load the washer before we left. I'm sorry but what is the point of a stay away from home if I have to do the same chores? And why am I paying a cleaning fee if I have to do half myself?

Roomy and comfortable

Lovely apartment with everything we could need. We stayed one night and the place was clean, the bed was comfortable and the living room was very nice. It rained quite a bit so we spent more time than we intended inside. We were glad for the lovely space. The place is right in town, and thankfully the town was very quiet after dark. We rested well.
