The house is from the 19th century and right in the middle of the historic area of Newport. It literally has a plaque on the outside porch. That was neat! It has basic furnishings, but nothing too fancy. Three of the bedrooms are quiet, but the front bedroom is pretty loud, because it lacks the storm double windows that many of the nearby houses have. The church bells across the street are quite loud and ring throughout the night. The house is clean, but there is some dust, peeling paint, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! But I wouldn't say it was luxurious.
