We rented Scott's place, in part, because we were traveling with two dogs and we needed a host who would allow dogs. Don't let the fact that Scott allows dog dissuade the petless. The place was impeccably clean and organized. There was no evidence any dog or cat or any other pet has ever been there before, which I am sure is not true. Not even a hair (or fur). Scott even left some snacks out for us and some drinks in the fridge, which is definitely a first for me and really a great touch. The bathroom, like the rest of the house was super clean and stocked with plenty of towels. The street is very quiet and well located to get to where you want to get in Newport. The yard is well-maintained and perfect for some nice reading and dog playing. Scott was quick to respond and a great communicator. Certainly a great a host-and we would stay there again.
