First of all, let me say Karine was a very welcoming, gracious host. Very nice. That said, I was very disappointed with the accomodations. I booked expecting it to be as close to a BNB as possible without actually being one (one reviewer somehow described it as such). It was more like a hostel. We had to share the home with 5 other travelers, at least. Not the biggest deal except the home is too small for all the travelers. Then, we had the bad luck to arrive in terribly humid weather only to find not one air conditioner in the whole house. It's fine to not have ac in the whole house, but to have to sleep in the humid weather was just too much, and I'm not even an air conditioner addict. I will grant we were given two fans. Secondly, the rooms are just too close to each other. Do not even think of being romantic in this home. The photos also do not do the room justice. I credit Karine's photo taking expertise. She should be hired as a realtor stager. They are tiny, but in the photos they look amazing. Also, although Karine was very hospitable, my wife and I felt like children in the home. When I forgot to take off my shoes when I walked in, my feet were "politely" looked at and when I hung a damp towel on the door instead of in the closet, (we had the bad luck to leave the door open when Karine walked by) we were asked (albeit politely) to hang it in the closet to dry (I thought the lack of privacy was a bit much). Coming and going was OKAY, but since everything creaked, coming in approx midnight seemed to be a gargantuan feat: I just didn't feel like I was coming back to my accomodation. I felt more like a high school kid sneaking back into his room without his mother finding out. But like I said, not everything was bad. Karine was very helpful. She let me park my scooter in her driveway. She bought juice and bagels for the guest and allowed us access to the kitchen. She even let us use her own bathroom if the other bathroom was being used. I have to say, she was the only highlight of the accomodation. It is not a hole in the wall and you could find worse, but DO NOT go into it expecting ANYTHING close to a bed and breakfast. Think more of a hostel. But you get what you pay for in Newport, Rhode Island. I thank Karine for the accomodations, but we will not be returning anytime soon. If you think I'm priviledged and expect too much, maybe you will enjoy the place. Just make sure it's not in the summer and there are no other guests booking at the same time. I write this review to help provide a little more accuracy. Good luck.
