We had a wonderful time in Newport and loved the street with its old homes, authentic and lived-in. We walked every block of the neighborhood which had a huge range of homes, from painted lady inns to simple cottages. From Susan and Bill's we were able to walk everywhere; the downtown is only a few blocks away. We are big walkers, didn't use our car at all during the stay, if you are very ambitious you can walk to the huge mansions, the Cliff Walk, museums, Fort Adams, the beach etc. Our lodgings had a private entrance and a small kitchenette area separate from the bedroom so one of us could be up without disturbing the other. There was a small fridge, microwave and coffeemaker. The street was quiet. We ate every morning at Belle's Cafe in the Newport shipyard (we were surprised that the shipyard is wide open to the public), just a few blocks from the house. All in all Newport is a wonderful town to be a tourist in, and we loved the location on Poplar Street.
