Karine was a lovely host. Loaning us an umbrella and helping us with our many bags. Her home is warm and has a European bohemian flavor. It is a lovely old home. The bedroom is petite and cozy. Everything was clean & nice. The shared bathroom, is that; a shared bathroom, so be prepared to maybe wait a bit if it’s occupied. For the very reasonable price in Newport , we were quite pleased as we spent little time at home and were quite comfortable.
