Great stay in the Unique Newport Loft this past weekend! Apartment is just how it looks in pictures, and if anything, the pictures can't fit all the charm and quirkiness. The owners have a terrific collection of both records and books -- it's a library of cool.

Beds were comfortable, there's plenty of seating in the living room, or around the kitchen and dining room tables, and there's a washer/ dryer available. We didn't end up eating any meals in the apartment, but there were about seven bottles of different hot sauces available, which gets big bonus points.

The apartment is about a three minute walk from Corner Cafe for a great breakfast on Broadway, a five minute drive to Thames Street attractions and 10 to the Cliff Walk. Parking was easy in the lot next to the building.

Lisel was communicative and helpful throughout, sending a list of favorite restaurants, bars and attractions beforehand, and keeping us apprised of some in-town happenings during our stay.
