what makes Jay's place stand out is location location location! You are right off the main street in Newport and steps from shops, restaurants, the water. The living space is nice and open with a large comfy couch and good for a group to hang together. It is an older house with some cool original features like stained glass etc, however the age is definitely reflected in other areas like outdated bathrooms and paint peeling etc so if you are looking for luxury might not be for you.. but we were comfortable and jay was a responsive and great host!
