My friend and I stayed at Grit's loft over Thanksgiving weekend. We had a wonderful time, largely thanks to her tips and the space. Her loft is absolutely stunning. It's centrally located and within walking distance of everything we wanted to do/everywhere we wanted to go. It's also on top of Mission, one of the best burger restaurants in Rhode Island. There is convenient and free street parking nearby. I highly recommend staying here and plan to return the next time I am in Newport!
