We stayed at Bob's place Oct 2017 for a girl's weekend. This place was perfect for our group. From the adorable apartment, to the cozy roof deck and amazing location we couldn't have asked for better. Bob's communication was great starting before our trip all the way through to check out. The apartment is within walking distance of Thames street and all the shops, restaurants and bars. There is not street parking, but a large parking lot you can pay to park overnight. We paid for the weekend and didn't need our car while there. Would definitely recommend for your trip to Newport. We are already talking about coming back next year!
