Marion and her son, Edward, were amazing hosts! From spot-on restaurant and beach recommendations, to excellent accommodations, Marion's apartment is a great deal. Two superb beaches are within walking distance (First Beach is a 10 minute walk and Second beach is about a 20 minute walk). It's a five minute walk to Flo's for great, affordable, seafood fare and Downton Newport is a $7-$12 uber ride depending on time of day/surcharge.
Edward is the boss and everyone in Middletown and Newport seemed to know him! Meeting him was one of the highlights of our trip--a genuine soul and so kind. Marion is equally amazing and made sure we had everything we needed and was so generous with muffins and coffees in the morning. As an international uber user, this was hands down my best uber experience. We'll be back at Marion's next year!
