Mark's place is welcoming, clean, and comfortable. The house has a lovely New England charm to it, which adds to the Newport experience. The room is clean and well decorated, on the second floor overlooking the street. It has its own bathroom well stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap (but no hair dryer) so you don't need to share bathrooms.
Mark makes a wholesome breakfast for guests and gives great tips for restaurants and things to do.
The location of the house is in a comfortable and quiet neighborhood about 10 min walk from the wharf/Thames street. There is a parking lot in the back of the house.
