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.

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!
