Jan our host was fantastic! She was right on top of things checking in and out. The beds were comfortable, the location was great. It was the basic accommodations our trip required. The laundry in the kitchen was a great bonus for us.

The apartment however is over cluttered with knickknacks, paintings, dolls, and stuff I really don't understand. All of the furniture is too large for its space and the place is really dated. Its part of an old large house, so there are doors everywhere, each one has a painting hanging on it. No light in the dining room. The place does have the older smell that others have mentioned, but I would say that its a moisture smell of Newport and the age of the place vs anything in particular. It does have a distinct odor, but you don't recognize it after a while.
