We stayed at Steve's right before the Independence holiday for a quick first-time trip to Newport. It was wonderful! The weather was cool enough to open the windows in the mornings and get fresh air and the AC cooled the apartment off quickly in the evening. The apartment was incredibly spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We decided to take Uber taxis downtown in the evenings to avoid traffic/parking/holiday nightmares that come in a fun town like this. The rides were only $5 and Steve leaves you a coupon as a first time user. We walked to Bellevue Ave every day, to Empire Tea and Coffee and to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. We even walked back from town one night, it took about 40 minutes from Brick Alley Pub and felt very safe. We will definitely be back, it was a wonderful stay!
