Rachel is a very pleasant and responsive host and the apartment is in wonderful part of Newport. You can walk to just about everything in 15 minutes. Broadway is close and full of restaurants and bars. The apartment is on a quiet residential street and in a safe neighborhood.
The apartment itself needs some cosmetic updates which will be obvious to any seasoned travelers. It has a student vibe. The kitchen is new and quite nice and would benefit from a small table. There is one off street parking spot which is convenient, and more parking around the corner.
