N/A - Don't due breakfast.
Took some yogurt and a bagel for snacks later (don't tell anybody)
Great location, once I got my bearings.
One complaint, flatten the hills a bit! (ha ha)
I know it's out of Bill's control -- at least San Fransico is sort of level at least parallel to the Sea shore, but last time I was there, my legs were younger.

Comfy Bed & self-serve Breakfast variety in a very peaceful old home, full of interesting memorabilia, delightfully renovated by Bill the pleasant accommodating host. Easy walking to downtown pubs & restaurants and bus stops. Great value - I plan to come back.

Very friendly owner, appreciated the offer of toast when I arrived late and hungry. Amazing place, like stepping back in time, real artefacts, a lot of time and money has gone into detailled restorations.
Can't think of anything.

Excellent host,
Eclectic manor home, unique in every way
No fresh fruit available with breakfast.
A Water cooler, to refill our water bottles would have been appreciated.
Although the authentic lighting was beautiful, the actual amount of light was very low & we had difficulty seeing in Room 2.

I absolutely loved staying at this property!! It was like a home away from home - a fascinating house filled with impressive collections of books, records and antiques, all beautifully displayed.
My room was spacious and very comfortable but I was also invited, to explore the rest of the house and to make myself at home in the shared spaces.

Everything was great about our visit from our host Bill to the location to the room. The whole Jelly Bean Row House is a living museum of antiques! Memorable stay! Highly recommend!
Nothing to add.
10.0
The house is immaculate, and the attention to detail put into restoring and decorating is incredible. Bill was so passionate about the work he does and the care he puts into the house, it was infectious and I loved asking questions. I will recommend this to all family and friends visiting St. John's and recommend you stay here. What a beautiful introduction to Newfoundland.

Breakfast was a continental breakfast. This basically was a help yourself to the home owner's fridge scenario, which met our needs. The location is excellent, we could walk to downtown St. John's. The home is essentially a museum piece that the owner immaculately restored. The owner is also an antique collector of various genres and he will gladly provide a tour and history of his quite extensive collections.
Although I understand the reasoning behind not being able to lock the doors to our rooms when we leave, it made some of us somewhat uncomfortable because there were other guests in the home with whom we were unfamiliar.
