When spending over $400 US per night one expects a bit more than this place. Broken faucets, a bathroom sink that doesn't drain, broken shades (making it hard to enjoy the view), broken shower fixture, a toilet that runs. The place felt generally unloved. More suitable for college students than grownups. And the photos online are designed to make it look twice the size. It's actually a bit claustrophobic. Online it tells you average price is $196 per night. When booking it turns into over $400. Think twice! You'll also find the all night ship engines and lights less than relaxing.

Overall very nice place to stay, stairs are a little different for older people. Attention to a few things 1 living room blind don’t work 2 plug in for vacuum doesn’t work

We loved staying at the battery cottage. It was exactly as described. So close to do the signal hill hike every day, and walkable to downtown. Would definitely stay here again.

Our hosts were extremely helpful and timely with communication. We loved being in the heart of downtown st. John’s. Would stay here again!

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.
