I'm not sure the listing does this place justice. Though I didn't have time to fully explore Newport, if you're looking to be by the trendy main drag, this is your spot! You're literally a 30 second walk from Thames street and a 60 second walk (I'm not kidding) from the local coffee shop and other bars and restaurants. I was also able to walk to the dock on the water (complete with signs boasting "perpetual access" for all) in about a minute and a half end enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset. The beach is an 8 minute drive (though walking or jogging is recommended as perking is limited) and the apartment has a nice quiet deck (2, actually) for chilling and pondering. Overall, I was VERY pleased. Thanks Jim!
