I had never been to Newport before and it literally felt like it was my apartment. It was very homey. At the end of every day, I truly felt like I was walking into my own house. My wife and I were so comfortable here. James is a great host. Any and all questions I had were answered within minutes of asking. But there was very little that wasn't already thought off. There are a number of amenities like a hotel, bathroom stocked with fresh towels, bedrooms had fresh linens, but no details were overlooked. The house is situated exactly where you want to be if this is your first time in Newport. It is 1/2 block away from Thames Street, which is where all of the restaurants and shops are located. If you're taking a mansion tour, the shuttle buses depart from the Newport Tourism building which is 1/2 block the other way on America's Cup St. The apartment is cozy and has the typical vintage Newport charm to it, but it has been updated. Maybe one of the best showers I have ever taken. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Newport and I would come back again myself if the opportunity presented itself.
