My friend and I were in town for a sailing event. Ray’s listing is accurate and was the best value for the price the 5 days we were in Newport. He has 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom. He lives upstairs. As others have mentioned, his home is very comfortable. If you’re looking for new and stylish, this may not be your cup of tea. However his house is in an historic district with a lot of character. A neighborhood parking pass is provided. The walk to downtown may be far for some, but finding cheap parking in Newport can take forever. We preferred to walk. Ray keeps a beautiful garden, grows delicious heirloom tomatoes, and has a nice collection of antique furniture and carpets. Ray gave us a great suggestion for breakfast. I recommend Ray’s listing if you are looking for an affordable place in the heart of Newport- hard to find in August.
