Brian is a very hands on host. He was gracious but not intrusive, and offered help and advice when asked.
This place is charming, reminiscent of an old fashioned bed a breakfast. The building is historic and there are relics throughout with a cute little communal sitting room.
The location is excellent, right on the waterfront road in Newport, with the other main street (shopping and mansions) right up the hill. I would go again.
