I just returned from a lovely weekend in Newport staying in Brett's apartment which was spacious and clean. Having two bathrooms was a plus! Step outside and you are minutes from the water and LOTS of shopping and restaurants. We just parked the car and walked everywhere. Loved that!
There was a bit of noise from the late night pizza shop next door, so if you are a light sleeper maybe plan on listening to some music with your earbuds, but otherwise, a very comfortable stay.
Brett was very responsive and accommodating!
