Jim’s place is right in the center of all the happening bars and restaurants. Location wise - perfect! Parking can be a little difficult, there is metered parking but for overnight, park on one of the streets nearby and walk 5 to 10 mins.
As a host, Jim is very friendly and approachable. There was a little hiccup with a leak in the ceiling (it rained heavily the night before) which woke us up in the morning but Jim was quick to contact us back and send someone over to clean/get the leak fixed.
He offered us dinner at his restaurant below to make up for the inconvenience which was a lovely invitation. We appreciated his thoughtfulness!
A minor thing - the ac in the bedroom is quite loud (didn’t bother me but it annoyed my husband).
On to the good things - comfy bed in the bedroom, Netflix, and the small kitchen with utensils provided - great plus!
We enjoyed our stay in Newport at Jim’s place. Would recommend!
