Fun house in a nice neighborhood a tad north of downtown Newport. Quiet, private accommodations with a friendly host. The room is a good size for a single guest or a couple. Wifi and a small desk make it possible to work during your stay if needed. There's no A/C (but a window fan) so prepare for that if traveling during a heat wave. Shopping center within a 10-15 minute walking distance that has stores like Gap and Sephora, but also Newport/Rhode Island specialties and souvenirs. The scenic harbor is also about two blocks away and a great way to start the day. We attended a wedding on Goat Island, which is also within walking distance. The Cliff Walk and mansions of Newport are just a short 10-minute drive away. Excellent alternative to the pricey hotels, with the added bonus of getting a more day-to-day flavor of Newport and meeting some locals. I would certainly look to Ray's first if/when we visit Newport again.
