Merrilee is a fantastic, enegetic host. She shared wonderful local tips that helped us to have a super easy transition from busy daily lives to a mini-vacation mode for our two night stay in Newport! The space was just as described and very clean. One thing I'd note (and may have missed in the description) is that the deck is for daytime use only. Fortuantely, Newport is full of options for public outside space to enjoy in the evening. We look forward to visiting again!
