My family of 6 adults had a wonderful stay at Leah's. She was an excellent communicator and made sure we had everything we needed. We were in town for the Newport Folk Festival and it was a short (10 minute) walk to the festival ferry. We were also in very short walking distance to some of our old Newport favorites (White Horse Tavern, Perro Salado) and very close to a new favorite (Nitro Coffee Bar). We had plenty of room at the apartment and it was refreshingly cool after long, hot days at the festival. The beds, pillows, and bath linens were all excellent. The apartment was spotless. And it was remarkably quite for an old home -- people could have an early breakfast in the dining room without at all disrupting those of us still asleep.
The highest praise is for Leah, who generously worked with our travel schedule. She was a delight.
The only negative: the prices of short term rentals/housing in Newport is extraordinary and prohibitive for many, but I understand the owners have limited control over this aspect of the rental market.
Stay at Leah's and enjoy Newport!
