Our trip began at a local chain motel and, for several reasons, we felt unsafe. That began a frantic scramble to find alternate lodging. Cue AirBnB & Lorraine at Wayside. It was getting late so I wasn't optimistic we could book something but, lo and behold, less than 2 minutes later (true), I got a notification from Lorraine that she had accepted our booking request. Within 5 minutes we had our belongings back in our car and 5 minutes after that we were standing in a beautiful, historic mansion. Quite the upgrade! Unthinkably, it costs about the same as the terrifying motel chain from which we had fled. And Lorraine was fantastic. We chatted repeatedly and she pointed us to all of the sites around Newport we should check out. We have already talked about trying to get back and we WILL be staying at Wayside.
