Karen was a fantastic host! Her place was full of charm and perfectly located in the center on Newport. Karen was quick to respond when we had answers and her manual included fantastic recommendations for restaurants, things to do, etc. You are in walking distance to everything! However, since we are from out of state we did have a car. There are two overnight parking lots conveniently located, however we lucked out and were able to get street parking practically in front of the property every night of our stay. The only downside to the space was the stairs to get into the building are extremely steep and narrow (not Karen’s fault of course!) but to keep in mind if that may be difficult for you. Additionally, the couch is extremely low to the ground making it very difficult to get up from…. almost like sitting in a bean bag chair. I would just caution anyone who is older and/or has physical impairments that this property could be challenging. Overall, the place was beautiful and I enjoyed staying in such a charming and beautifully decorated place.
