This was our first time in Newport, RI. It was my fiances 30th birthday and I wanted to surprise him with a trip to somewhere we have never been before. After booking with karen, she took the time to email me about all of the wonderful places to visit in Newport and was so quick to respond back with all answers to my questions. She was even kind enough to let us check in early since we had driven for 5 hours to get there on no sleep from working the night shift back at home. Karen's place was more wonderful than we ever could have imagined. So clean, comfortable & stylish. I fell in love with the bathroom and kitchen. We were located in the most amazing neighborhood. Walking distance from everything we wanted to do. I could never imagine going to Newport again without staying in this apartment. Thank you for being such an amazing host Karen. Your home was more than we could have imagined.
