Karine is the best hostess that one can ever ask for. She is kind, intelligent, and offers the best quality place.
First off, Karine really got out of her way to help us deal with transportation situation. The ferry that we had planned to take to get to Newport was not operating and we were struggling to find an alternative. She, who happened to be in the area near our train station, responded immediately as we inquired something and gladly offered a ride which really saved our trip and turned it into a great memory.
Karine's house is a great place to stay and experience Newport. It is a wooden house, very cleanly managed with the feel of antique. It had a cozy bedroom, a clean bathroom, good AC, a very cute backyard with various herbs growing. She also stocks good bread and some quick food for breakfast. Had a very comfortable stay. O don't forget the most friendly three cats as your company.
Karine also was great with communication. Her recommendation for beach, sightseeing is something you can only get from a local. She also was great with response whenever I reached her.
All in all, I have no doubt that one will have a wonderful time at Karine's. Thanks Karine, hope you take care!
