Karen's place was beautiful! Exactly as described and photographed. The renovation was done beautifully but still kept the charm of the late 1800s. The furniture was really pretty, crisp and clean, kitchen beautiful, and bathroom stocked beautifully with plush towels and toiletries. Coffee, creamer, and tea was a great touch in the kitchen. Karen was a wonderful hostess - quick to communicate and answer questions. And her "travel guide" of things to do and see in Newport was terrific. Oh, and i almost forgot about the location - couldn't be more perfect. Right in town, walkable to everything. And if you bring a car (which you don't need) there is a public parking lot right next door. I hope to return to Newport before too long and will definitely stay at Karen's condo whenever I am there.
