Fantastic host. It was our first time renting a "shared house" and it couldn't have gone better. Very private and has everything you need. Ned lives downstairs but is not intrusive AT ALL! He's there when/if you need him, otherwise the place feels like it is all yours. Ned is full of great recommendations and lots of good Newport facts. The location is a short walk from everything and parking is easy out front of the place. Definitely recommend.
