The hosts met us at the apartment and were eager to answer any questions we might have about the area. The apartment was very nice -- spotlessly clean with upscale amenities. There are several good restaurants in the area and it is only about a 15 minute walk into the heart of Newport. As others have noted, the apartment is on the top floor of the building -- up a couple flights of stairs. Not a problem for us but not a good choice for those with limited mobility. The hosts run a small grocery store under the apartment. Note that while the address is for the street in front of the apartment, access to the apartment and the parking lot is from the street behind the apartment. This can be a little confusing. Great apartment, lovely hosts, nice city, highly recommended.
