This was our first time using AirBnB for my husband and I, so we we have no previous experiences for comparison. That being said, it was overall a positive experience. We walked to downtown Newport and the cliff walk as well, though it would've been better to bring bikes. The listing was mostly accurate, though some furniture has been changed from the photos and we were disappointed when Billie told us the hot tub was broken! Also, it was unclear before we arrived which guest area we would be staying in.

We got the upstairs suite as the downstairs one was occupied already. Our sitting area had a mini-fridge stocked with just yogurts and half & half. Also provided was a can of Folgers, a coffee maker, a bowl of fruit, and a couple biscotti and granola bars. There were maps of the area and local tourist attraction guides provided as well. Everything was clean and comfortable, from the lounge to the bedroom to the bathroom. The neighborhood was blissfully quiet at night. One odd point though - the whole house has a bit of a musty damp smell to it. Not strong enough to put us off staying, but it was noticeable.

We had a great visit in Newport, though I think Billie could work on her communication. She wasn't there to greet us, and so we had to call her for instructions after waiting awkwardly on the doorstep. We also never got any details about the wifi, and so never got to use it. Billie kept to herself and left us to our own devices during our stay, which was fine.
