I had a wonderful stay in Karine’s home. It’s a quick walk to the center of Newport. She loves the town and it’s easy to see why. Newport is walkable, beautiful, and full of friendly people. Traveling solo, I felt 100% safe walking around after dark. Parking was really easy. All communication was easy and quick. Her block and house are both quiet. Her home is situated with the living room and kitchen on the main floor, with the guest rooms and bathroom upstairs. It was always at the perfect temperature. The guest bathroom is remodeled and modern. The shower has plenty of soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Her beautifully decorated home is filled with paintings, art, and plants. Her cats are friendly and sweet and even though I’m allergic, I spent two nights there with no symptoms - the guest room was sparkling clean! She was very accommodating to my allergies. I sleep with ear plugs and an eye mask normally, but the blinds let some light in. Just a note if you prefer a dark bedroom in the morning. I slept great and the bed was very comfortable. Karine has a lot of knowledge about Newport and its sights. She has many travel books and maps of the town. I would stay with her again with no hesitation. Many thanks to Karine! I loved my time in Newport! 100% recommend
