If you want to see and do a lot around the Newport, RI area, 7 Marchant Place is an excellent location. My husband and I were able to access restaurants, the bay, shops, sightseeing tours, some of the mansions, and the Cliffwalk by foot. The location is on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle. The room is on the small side and probably not a place to "hang out". There is off-street parking available behind the house. Across the street is a lovely park overlooking the water. Jennifer is an excellent host, who provided many special touches to her place.
