My husband and I decided to take a weekend trip to Newport for a little coastal getaway (we live in Brooklyn), and despite rain about half the time we were there, it was a perfect weekend! Staying with Pamela added to this. Her apartment is so cozy, and in her own words, she's "a lot of chach, and a little bit of kitsch,"--we knew we had found the right host for us! Pamela is so sweet and provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for her guests. Her home is in a quiet and safe part of town that is within walking distance (if you like walking) of everywhere you would want to go. The beautiful Breakers mansion is only about a 15 minute walk, and the longest walk was to Easton's Beach, which was probably about 2 miles. On a beautiful day, however, you can take the Cliff Walk almost the entire way, which you'll want to do anyway! We will definitely stay with Pamela again when we visit Newport, and I would encourage anyone else to do so! She also has the sweetest and cutest cats, which only added to our "home away from home" experience!
