Wife and I spent two nights with Ray while visiting Newport. This is a bedroom in Ray's house with a shared bath. Nothing fancy but it worked for us. Our room was clean and quiet and sharing the bath was not a problem. Location was very good. Short walk to Battery Park ( a public park overlooking the bay) and a short walk to the marina and harbor with shops and restaurants. WE walked to dinner both nights and breakfast at Panera and Liberty Doughnut in the morning. Drove to Cliff Walk and Adams Fort. Talked to Ray on several occasions. Friendly and easy to communicate with. He has lived in Newport for many years and his recommendations for restaurants was greatly helpful. Good value.
