The Birdhouse is a great location within walking distance to downtown Newport, which has lots of shops and restaurants. Kate was friendly and accommodating. She provided us with snacks, maps of the area, and an extra fan for our room on a hot night. We visited the local art house movie theater that Kate recommended (Jane Picketts) and loved the atmosphere! This was a good home base for our adventures in Newport and Block Island. We enjoyed the cliff walk, a sailboat ride, mansion tours, the beach and more in our week-long stay. This Airbnb is a good option for low-maintenance travelers looking for affordable options in the area.
