The location of this home cannot be more perfect. If you’re looking for a beautiful, clean, newly renovated home to stay in for a few days in Newport, this is the perfect one. John, the host, was great with communication from booking all the way through to check-in. The house is on a small, quiet block at the south end off Thames St so it’s not as busy as it would be more towards America’s Cup Ave. It is perfect walking distance to anywhere in town, including Bellevue Ave where Elms and the other mansions are. We’re from a big city area so I overestimated the size of all the blocks. O’Briens Pub is a great place to eat and is less than one minute walk from the front door. I thought it was probably 2-3 minutes in looking at a map. There are so many great places to eat and visit in just a 10 minute walk. In the other direction down Thames you can easily get to the Park which has a playground for little ones and a nice walkway along the water to see the marina and harbor. Cannot recommend this house enough!
