Last week was my first airline trip [post-COVID] to my niece’s all-vaccinated wedding in Newport. Traveling with my 85-year-old mother, I was looking for my own: “home-away-from-home,” where I could relax and enjoy the week’s celebrations from a central location.
Enter “JEWEL’ and my host Grit.
Within minutes of my arrival, I kicked off my shoes, and blue-toothed my favorite playlist over the sound system. “JEWEL” is luxuriously appointed, with an emphasis on common space—a rare commodity I would come to find out—as I got a peek at five other properties during my stay. None compared.
Grit’s attention-to-detail was superb. Her guidance on what Newport has to offer was invaluable.
First thing in the morning, I strolled into Empire Tea & Coffee to meet some locals and their dogs.
It’s easy to be complimentary when everything goes smoothly, but life rarely works out that way. A first-time airbnb-er, prior to my arrival I neglected to update the length of my stay with the reservation button within the App.
During my [self-imposed] crisis, Grit calmly walked me through the process to release the property back for re-rental—no harm done.
Her response to all my questions was immediate.
While researching accommodations in Newport, if you’re looking for a relationship versus a transaction, you can’t go wrong with Grit.
Bravo!
