This was first time using airbnb. I will definitely go this route again if this first experience is any indication. Our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until 1 a.m. Karine kept in touch with us and assured us everything would be OK. It was. She greeted us at the door and was the perfect host. Karine went out of her way to make us welcomed and was there to help us throughout our stay. The home is tucked away on a narrow street and you get a feeling you are part of a community. It is located within five minutes of everything in Newport, a place where it is almost impossible to find a hotel at a reasonable price at the time of year we visited. We totally enjoyed the experience and feel we have made a friend in the process.
