Karine's home is a lovely, comfortable stay right in the heart of Newport! Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to food and shops. Laid-back atmosphere with a nice sitting room and outdoor deck with a beautiful garden. Comfy rooms– got a great night's sleep! We are cat lovers so the three purring hosts made sure we got settled. Very clean home, safe and secure. We definitely recommend if you need a place to stay in Newport!
Notes:
- We didn't end up cooking breakfast, so we can't rate the kitchen, but it looked very nice and set up for meals and tea time! Water glasses provided in the rooms and a filtered pitcher on the kitchen counter.
- There are three cats at the house, so if you have a severe pet allergy (or just not a cat person), this might not work best for you.
- Very clean home (no indoor shoe policy) awesome decor, no TV (perfect scene to curl up with books!)
- Parking: well, it's Newport. It's first-come-first-serve street parking. But you can walk to everything from the house, so once you grab a spot, keep it! There's a small bus line if you need to get further out. This is an excellent area for biking as well. Karine keeps maps with bicycling routes in the room so you can plan trips. (Buses can accommodate bikes!)
Awesome experience, will keep in mind for our next visit!
