We enjoyed our stay at Mary's place. Her apartment is spacious and in a good location, i.e. in a quiet neighborhood about a mile outside of downtown. There was plenty of easy and free parking on the street. The unit is clean and has plenty of amenities. The apartment is adjoining another unit that is occupied and the walls are quite thin. There were times when it was a bit noisy, but not at very late or early hours. Overall, it's a great choice for exploring Newport.
