My wife and I are from Brooklyn, NY and decided to take a weekend away out of the city. Unfortunately with COVID-19, we were unsure of what to expect by staying at an AirBNB in terms of extra precautions. We found Karine's place in an area that was a short distance away from the Newport hub at a great price and decided to take plunge. Once we got to Karine's place, it was all that we needed! Karine took several extra steps in her cleanliness and sanitizing our space to the best of her ability. She left hand sanitizer outside for us before coming in, sanitized all of the door handles and made sure she allowed us to open the doors so she didn't recontaminate them afterwards, and even has a fridge/microwave/toaster upstairs so we were essentially in our own isolation during our stay even though she was also home. She was very considerate and always wore a mask when she heard us coming downstairs to where she was (I can't imagine having to wear a mask in my own home!). She also gave us great tips for the area and bought us a few things for breakfast (sorry we didn't end up eating it, there were so many great breakfast spots!). If you're into cats, she has 3 of them and they are around if you want to have them in your company! COVID has made travelling uncertain, but if you decide to come to Karine's place, I can assure you that she will go out of her way to make you feel more comfortable during your stay. She is also open to ways of improving her efforts, so that's always a plus! Don't hesitate to stay at Karine's place if you want a clean room, great hospitality, and a great rate!
