I'm kind of afraid to tell the truth here because I don't want someone else to snatch this gem up for Folk Fest next year! Denise is an excellent host and the apartment is great. Denise gave us simple directions for check in, which went off without a hitch. The space was immaculate and despite it being oppressively hot this past weekend the apartment was cool and the a/c in the bedroom kept it super chill. More than enough room for two, a bright kitchen, nice sitting room and equipped bathroom. The bed was soooooo comfortable and made beautifully with lots of covers and pillows... so luxe after spending LOOOOOOOONG days in the sun and at aftershows.
It's about a .5 mile walk to a bunch of restaurants with really good beer lists - they're all right on Broadway. Go a little farther than that and you'll find Pour Judgement which is Newport's best bar - great staff, INCREDIBLE food and a killer beer list, fun playlists and live music lots of nights.
Ubering to the fort early in the morning is easy and cheap and taking the ferry back to town is also simple.
Highly recommend!
