Walter is AMAZING! He rivals the location of this BnB for the best feature of this place. If you want an ambassador to Newport who will give you the best local tips, this is your place! We arrived earlier than we anticipated, and hadn't called, but when Walter saw us on the porch he dropped what he was doing and sat down with us to introduce us to Newport. Lots of great advice for what to see and how to "do" Newport. We seriously spent the whole time walking around, saying "what would Walter do...?" The house itself is an amazing location, close to everything and in the heart of the gaslight neighborhood. It is cozy and clean. The whole experience was more like staying at a family member's house. We would love to come stay at Poplar House when we come back to Newport.
