Experience was excellent. Home was charming, close to the bay and to shopping, very clean, and in a safe, attractive neighbourhood.
Kitchen exceptionally well equipped, with dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, etc. In addition, our host had left staples such as coffee, tea bags, English muffins, eggs, etc., to start our first morning. We were very impressed!! Beds comfortable, and bathrooms in good working order. When we did encounter one small problem with hot water supply, there were workmen on the scene almost immediately and the situation rectified with a minimum of fuss.
Another bonus was the excellent feedback our host gave us in assessing the local scene--restaurants, stores, area highlights. Newport was a short ride over the bridge and even here, our host's recommendation for fine dining (lunchtime) proved invaluable. (May I strongly recommend the "Castle Hill" for an exceptional dining experience!! A bit difficult to find, but SO worth the effort...)
I, and my three travelling companions, would rate this house--and its host--very highly. Loved staying here!!!
