Ben was flexible with timing and met me when I requested. He was very helpful, friendly, casual, and even accommodated an unexpected extra guest on my part with an extra mattress. The space was cozy, comfortable and felt like "home away from home" . He and his father Brian were both gracious and friendly hosts who let us keep to ourselves, but made sure they were available via a knock or a text. The space was larger than we had anticipated from the pictures, and was quite comfortable for myself and 3 teen boys. there is a full kitchen, living room area, and a separate bedroom. The bed was comfortable, as was the futon mattress provided. The bathroom is cute and cozy with a lovely claw foot tub. This is an attic apartment, so the ceilings are low! Also, the neighborhood is quiet and quaint, and within (1 mile) walking distance to cafes, shops, the beach, the cliffwalk, as well as being a charming neighborhood to walk around. Within walking distance are Eastons Beach with the best lobster rolls in town at Eastons Beach Shack, Thames Street, Cliff Walk and many other attractions. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Newport!
