I spent two months at Tim's apartment in Newport and I had a great experience. I met Tim and his brother Tom when I arrived at the apartment, and they were very gracious and accommodating hosts. During my stay, Tim was very accessible and responded quickly to any question or concern, which was highly appreciated.
The apartment is located in walking distance from shops and restaurants on Broadway or the western shore. I stayed during winter, so Newport was a bit quieter than during the tourist season, but I had a great time and was able to experience a lot of the area. I highly recommend Tim's apartment for any stay in Newport.
