Nicole was incredibly hospitable and wonderfully communicative the whole time. We brought our bikes with us and were able to get around Newport easily - biking to the beach, tennis, sailing, restaurants, etc. We had a great trip, but my 6' 4'' husband had trouble navigating the apartment. It has low ceilings (which was ok), with two beams that protruded down to about 6' and he kept bumping his head throughout our week-long stay, so I wouldn't recommend for anyone very tall (although other reviewers have noted otherwise, it just wasn't fun for my guy!). Otherwise, a nice place with outside space, a hammock, and a fire pit to enjoy.
