Believe all the strong reviews! Ellen and Charlie (and their two Jack Russell Terriers, Hatch and Penny) are gracious, friendly and responsive hosts. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the dining and shopping districts. The second floor suite is private with, as many previously noted, a creative and lovely bath and shower. Special touches such as carafes of filtered filtered water we’re waiting for us in the small fridge. Their guide book of Newport was crammed with good information and suggestions. Don’t miss their recommended bakery Rosemary and Thyme.
The rooms were immaculately clean and included extra pillows, towels and ample storage space for luggage. We speak as veteran Airbnbers, the overvalue and quality of our stay was superb.
A word about Newport—beyond the mansions, shopping and historic glamour—the glorious natural beauty of this island city moved us.
Ellen and Charlie were consummate hosts who respected our privacy and yet remained attentive and available. We loved their home and our stay. Highly recommended. We look forward to a future stay.
