If you’re heading to Newport (and even if you weren’t planning to), it’s truly worth staying at Grit’s apartment. When I saw the photos of the spot and read about the location, I thought it was too good to be true. It wasn’t. Grit and her family were extremely gracious hosts. The apartment was spotless (cleanliness is always important to me, but even more so during COVID), and Grit provided many thoughtful amenities (smeg coffeemaker and breville toaster oven were a few of my favorite finds in the beautiful kitchen). And she even dropped off shrimp cocktail from the local seafood market and a bouquet of lovely roses outside the door! There are so many cool spots to stay all around the world so I rarely make return trips to the same exact place, but I would not hesitate to return here and have already raved about it to family and friends. Thank you, Grit and Scott!
