Pat's place was perfect - about a 5-10 minute walk to downtown and all the wharfs (which is key because parking in Newport is an expensive nightmare) but far enough out that it's quiet and calm. I was in town for a wedding on Goat Island and it went late, but her house is close enough that I was able to walk home at the end of the night! Pat was really flexible with my check-in; when I ran into traffic and arrive an hour later than I was supposed to, she had no problem with it and stayed up to meet me. She offered excellent local tips catered to my interests, and her dog Onyx was a delight. The home was clean and the smell of baked goods welcomed me every morning. I would absolutely stay here again and I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy option in Newport.
