Kate is a fantastic host! First time checking out the Newport area and stayed for one night. The location is walking distance to downtown Newport as well as the beach and Cliff Walk. Check-in was very easy and simple and she replied promptly to my messages. Kate is very friendly and was available in case we needed anything. Be aware that the house does not have AC so it may get warm during the summer days. However, once the sun sets, it is nice and breezy. The patio is very nice to sit and relax in the evening/early morning. In addition, the room had all the basic necessities which was great for our quick trip.
