Rhoda's Place - Roomy 2 Bedroom/ Private Backyard/ Steps to Downtown, Laundry

Welcome to Rhoda's Place, a cozy, welcoming two-bedroom apartment, with washer & dryer, steps to downtown St. John’s and a quick 15 minutes from St. John's International Airport.

The Fall is a special season here in St. John's - we have beautiful colours, crisp weather and walking is still quite doable for those who like to go up and down hills :) Always the case in downtown St. John's regardless of season.

We are mere steps away from The Rooms (our own museum/ coffee shop/ restaurant) which arguably has the most spectacular view of all the city; Autumn here is simply breathtaking in beauty.

Perfectly situated just steps from our best restaurants and lively nightlife, this prime location offers easy, under 10 minute walking distance access to George Street, the Convention Centre and all the historic charm of the St. John's core. This space is an ideal base for exploring the St. John's' vibrant, colourful downtown atmosphere.

Those steps may go downhill, which is easy; uphill back? This depends - there are also plenty of Uber and Taxi's available at a reasonable rate.

As you step into Rhoda's living room, you'll find a space carefully arranged to promote relaxation and comfort. A smart TV with Bell Fibe wifi is ready for streaming all your faves, while a selection of books and games are thoughtfully placed for your fun and enjoyment as well.

Primary bedroom features a dreamy Queen-sized bed and a full closet for all your unpacking and settling in needs. As well, this bedroom offers access to the private, fully fenced backyard - and through there access to your own laundry room, strictly for your use during your stay.

The secondary bedroom offers a comfy Double-sized bed and smaller closet with generous space to move around and make your own.

Rhoda's kitchen is thoughtfully equipped and fully functional. It includes essential items like full stove/ oven, fridge, dish cloths, towels, cutlery and kitchen tools, a microwave, and a toaster, ensuring you have all the assistance necessary to prepare meals with ease.

You have a dedicated dining area designed for meals, but it’s also flexible enough to double as a space for games, puzzles, or a simple, functional desk setup for work when needed—making it a versatile hub for dining, play, and productivity during your stay.

A short drive away is:

* Signal Hill featuring iconic Cabot Tower

* Quidi Vidi Village with hiking trails, eating and sightseeing attractions; some are seasonal (like cod jigging with 'QV Charters')

* The Rooms, as mentioned; iconic museum/ shop/ restaurant with best views of the city (5 minute walk uphill)

* The Postmasters Bakery, simply superb (7 minute walk uphill)

* Coffee Matters and more, are all within easy walking distance or a short drive from your home away from home.

At times, finding rental cars in the city may be difficult. We recommend the app Turo for your rental car needs :)

We offer one complimentary on-street parking pass - usually available right outside your door, just a few steps away for easy unloading and access.

We do ask that this parking pass be returned at the end of your stay or we must charge 100$ for replacement cost.

Rhoda's Place area is home to many unique local individuals and visitors. Keep in mind that this downtown location is part of a lively, vibrant city with all the energy and atmosphere that comes with it.

St. John’s is widely regarded as safe, especially compared to larger urban centers, but as in any downtown city area, it's wise to stay aware of your surroundings—particularly at night or on busy streets like George Street.

Use common sense; lock doors at all times, avoid isolated areas after dark and enjoy the city’s dynamic charm with joy and confidence.
