I got exactly what I was expecting from this property, something that had a scenic view that was within walking distance of downtown. What I had not expected was the noise associated with the working docks and I was awoken by 7 am by all the noise every morning. The south-facing blinds were useless in the main bedroom and the living room. This meant that there was nothing to create some privacy or to block the early light - and more importantly - the flood lights from the ships docked 24 hours a day. My sleep was very disrupted by the light and the noise. My trip was delayed by two days due to a major snowstorm (as happens in St. John's in February) and there was no flexibility to push back my reservation or cancel those two days. So, I ended up paying for two days I couldn't use. I was disappointed by that, even though it respected the letter of our reservation. Although the view and the house were exactly what I wanted, the sound and light pollution from the harbour and the lack of flexibility by the host mean that I am unsure if I would rent here again.

Stayed here for a relaxing few nights. Loved the cute cottage asthetic and views of the harbour. The free-standing bathtub was a highlight.
