Karine's home was perfectly located for our long weekend in Newport. We were able to easily walk to the main downtown area and it was a pleasant and easy 10-15 minute walk. The location is truly the selling point of staying in her home. The house itself is very pretty and quaint with a nice patio and backyard. However, it felt a little like a boarding house since four other people were staying there at the same time as us all in a small area. In addition, three bedrooms were sharing one bathroom, which is not ideal (although Karine did offer to let us use her bathroom upstairs). Something to keep in mind if you are looking for a more private, intimate trip. Otherwise, the access to Newport and all it has to offer can't be beat.
