I vote this place for the best place to stay in Newport, RI to visit historical sites, shopping and restaurants in Newport. This is the place what Airbnb is all about. You get to stay comfortably in a strange place as if you live in your own home. I prefer not to cook during my trip but do some takeout from wonderful local restaurants. Perfect place for that type of life style. I did not have to eat off of plastic forks and plates because this place has everything you need to serve dinner. I wonder if I can ever meet such a nice host family as Mike and his parents. They are literally just seconds away from my call/text for help. ( AA delivered my lost luggage in an unexpected time and Mike helped us out, for example)
