I have to say we were a little bit disappointed about our stay. We had a mixed experience here:
My husband and I live in NY, I'm French, he's from RI. My parents came to visit us and we wanted to show them were my husband grew up. We deliberately chose a house with a full kitchen, a grill and a garden because we wanted to spend some real family time, cooking and laughing together. Turns out the kitchen was barely equiped (there's an oven but no pan to cook in for example): almost all the closets were empty. The garden wasn't welcoming at all, the grass was high, and the table was dirty (that was obvious nobody took care of it for a while). The outdoor shower and the grill were missing (we had to borow the neighbour's one for the first night - we just decided not to grill anything else for the rest of our stay). We had to change our plans and go out a lot to eat, also we waisted a lot of our groceries while coming back to NY with by car in the heat of august.
I also want to point some good impressions here, the inside of the house, bathroom and toilet were clean. The sheets and towels too although the beds were hard and uncomfortable. Kim was responsive on airbnb and the location in Newport is great and easy to explore from. All in all we were dissapointed with the house but still enjoyed our stay in Newport.
