Karine has a charming home in a quiet area off Broadway which is one of the main districts for dining and socializing to live music in Newport. I was drawn to the bright room depicted and the wonderful chance to have a little time with Karine's cats since I am presently "catless" myself and I miss having furry companions. It added to my stay. Karine herself is very helpful, calming, and interesting to talk with. Highly recommended.
