Our stay in Newport was fabulous and the apartment was a convenient 15 to 20 minute walk from the downtown and the restaurants and entertainment. It was great for the 4 of us. We cooked our breakfasts in what reminded me of a quirky cottage kitchen. Then, as it was cooler and overcast we ate in the formal Victorian style dining room!! Reminiscent of a more leisurely, elegant lifestyle and a dramatic contrast from the Volvo Ocean sailing race we were there to watch!!.
The antiques and knick-knacks everywhere were fascinating, Jan has gone to great detail to decorate this unique space. The apartment is in a beautiful, huge old house, I wish there had been the time to learn the history of it. It needs some restoration, but as there was work being done on other sections of it while we were there (which did not impact us at all) I assume this is in process.
It was an action packed weekend and this was a comfortable and restful place to stay.
