John is a great host, friendly and available. His place was super clean, with everything you need for an extended stay: plenty of bath towels, beach towels, coffee/tea, water & snacks, well equipped kitchen. Comforts include many blankets (OB gets cold at night in the winter), room heaters, good bed mattress, bathroom heater. Location is walking distance to all the action on Newport, although it is on a pretty steep hill, so people who don't walk a lot should be aware of that.
