Charlie and Ellen were very helpful. They were away for the majority of our stay, however, left detailed instructions, were a phone call away at all times, and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.

As far as private rooms go, this is very private. We were upstairs on our own and had our very own private bathroom with two sinks and a glorious waterfall shower with a skylight. This is one of the nicest showers we have ever experienced!

The house has easy street parking and is about a 20 minute walk from downtown Newport, a 5 minute car ride or an 8 minute bike ride. The house is on a quiet side street. Uber is also cheap and convenient in Newport. There is a bike rental place close by, which is quite convenient. There is also a CVS very close by in case you need anything else.

We should note that there is a skylight in the bedroom, so the room fills with light pretty early in the morning. We would suggest bringing a sleeping mask if you want to sleep in. It is also a good idea to understand how the AC works, as the upstairs gets warmer than the rest of the house. The good news is that there is central AC and Charlie and Ellen are happy to let you control it!
