Karine was a wonderful host. Her home is beautiful and welcoming. She was quick with her responses and took time once we got there to give great recommendations to explore Newport. She is also a short walk to downtown Newport as well, which is full of shops restaurants, and history. She has three adorable cats who all have fun personalities :) Not to worry if you're not a cat person, her house is spotlessly clean, you would not know that cats lived there at all! I would highly recommend staying with Karine if you are looking to explore Newport!
