Nicole's home was absolutely lovely! The space, while small, was perfect us. The two bedrooms are roomy, and the beds are super comfortable. Although the kitchen doesn't have a stove, the toaster oven and microwave were more than adequate to prepare a small breakfast or heat up some food. There's no way to was dishes, and we did have to purchase some paper plates and plasticware and cups, but otherwise, it was all we needed.
If you're bringing your dog(s), there is a nice yard (not fenced in), and it's an easy walk up the street to the top of the hill where you can easily walk your dogs.
The location to Newport is convenient (about 20 minutes), and Portsmouth itself have some great restaurants and sights itself. Nicole's guidebook has great recommendations for places to eat just a few miles away if you don't want to go all the way to Newport. Check-in was easy, and communicating with Nicole was easy; she's very responsive. Overall, a great experience!
