The property is in a great location and has a number of bedrooms so is perfect for a large group. We were looking for an authentic St. John’s experience so the home was perfect for us over a hotel.

Check in was right on and easy. In general the kitchen facilities, the dishwasher needs some attention and the racks changed as looked rusty, it was also very lose and rocky under the counter. A spatula would be nice. We replaced the ice trays. A pair of scissors and ice cream scoop.

What a great spot!

The Narrows is a heritage house, complete with all the character and charm we love. It is very clean and complete with everything you would need. And a view of signal hill to boot! Just a few short blocks to all the shops and fun of downtown St. John’s. Michael is a very responsive host and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend both property and host!

We had the most lovely time with amazing views, accommodation and touring around with some friends and our baby who had never been to Newfoundland. A nostalgic and emotional stay made all the better by this beautiful and classic saltbox home. Grateful and happy to have found it and huge thankyou to Mike and Steph who were extradordinary and quick to respond with every ask. Thank you and LMYBJD

Lovely home, fantastic location

Beautiful home with views of the Narrows and Signal Hill. Centrally located, just steps from the Rooms and all the activity on Water and George Streets, with just enough hills to walk off the excellent food. En suite master with a birdseye view of Signal, Hill, and a lovely deck. Home is spacious throughout, with a well appointed kitchen. Host is responsive and full of good suggestions - and the house is just around the corner from the Postmaster’s Bakery - did I mention those handy, guilt erasing hills.

Great location, views and house!

Old typical postcard type St John’s house. Excellent location as it is an easy walk down to the pubs and restaurants, ( uphill back!). Nice view of the harbour from the upstairs and kitchen. Good bbq. Great bakery a block away. Street parking in front of the house and we found a another place to park our second car less than a block away. Rooms are quite spacious . It is an old house so floors can be a little funky and uneven, but that adds to the charm. Great house to use as a base to explore St John’s .

Perfect location!

This place is perfectly situated for exploring St. John’s. There were six adults in our group, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We only ate dinner in a couple of nights, but had what we needed to create meals. Bring your own toiletries (shampoo etc.), and might have to get coffee. The beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed relaxing in the living room. Fantastic upper deck and the third floor suite is really nice. No plug-in the upstairs bathroom. Would recommend a mirror above the desk where there is a plug for people drying their hair and doing make-up. We would definitely stay there again!

Disappointed

The property was listed as accomodations for 10 and there were only beds for eight and beds were not good. It was hot and stuffy and no ceiling fans and some windows didn't open at all. The host did bring a blowup with just one fitted sheet. Very disappointing

Hi Andy, Thanks for your feedback. It’s a bit off putting given other reviews/my listing details. A few comments, 3/4 beds were purchased this year and the other last year. The listing lists 4 beds total with access to a couch and a Queen air mattress. All windows open and I came down to pumped up the air mattress, put a fitted sheet on for you and I did indeed leave another sheet. I wish you had a better stay. I’d recommend reading the listing of how many beds (4)/couches (2)/air mattress(1) are listed. It is hot there, that’s why I have fans in every room, the loft/living room have a ceiling fans and floor fans. All the best

Character House

The location of the accomodation was very central and within walking distance to downtown St. John's, Sobey's, bakeries, restaurants and even to Signal Hill. There was sufficient space for our travelling group of 9 adults. This is an old character house with uneven floors, lots of steps to navigate, low basement ceiling height and sticky doors. Unfortunately on the last two days of our stay, a water leak developed from the upper floor and drained thru the ceiling of the floor below. But we accepted that is the nature of an older house. There was a washer and dryer available to use also. The host (Michael) was very helpful from the booking and check-in process. He responded very quickly when contacted.
