Staying at Karine's house was excellent! Karine was lovely & made us feel comfortable, welcome, & well-taken care of. Her house was beautiful--very clean, organized, & well-decorated. It felt more like staying in a bed & breakfast. The neighborhood was quiet & a nice walk from downtown Newport (it was a 20-minute walk from Goat Island). I would recommend staying at Karine's house to anyone who is looking to visit Newport.
