Shannon and her family were extremely welcoming and hospitable. As soon as we arrived she took time to introduce us to the space and talk to us at length about the area. The room was so clean and beautifully decorated. She was so well-organized and had a massive list of restaurants in the area to recommend. We ended up taking her advice, eating at the 'White Horse Tavern,' and 'The Mooring' both of which we delicious. The next morning we walked from her place to a cafe about a block away! Shannon generously gave us passes to see some of the Newport mansions; if that's not a sign that she cares about her guests' experiences then I don't know what is! Shannon's place is a must if you're visiting Newport!
