Positives: This place is central to everything you want to do in Newport, central and walkable, the host left some cute snacks and local beer/wine in fridge, bigger than the photos convey, pet friendly (though there is an additional small fee not mentioned in listing), clean with beautiful flowers around the property
Negatives: The lock system made it hard to get in the front door each time, leaving me (a woman who is traveling alone) outside (usually at night) fiddling with the door for up to ten minutes before gaining entry, I understand this is because the salt water warps the wood or something of that nature but a physical key would've been easy instead of a punch code that only turns the lock sometimes. It was slightly embarrassing doing this in front of a filled baseball field (which is directly behind the door)
Overall a better value than a local hotel and would recommend.
