location

Great location, we were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to see. Super interesting decorations and a lovely host.

A private bathroom would have been nice and maybe some eggs for breakfast.

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.

An excellent stay in an amazing home! We loved exploring this antique house, restored with passion and attention to detail. And Bill is a great host - always friendly and ready to give us tips on what to do next in St John's!

-Great overall vibes and decor, the place is a real museum and Bill has taken great care of it -Spotless, cleanest property I've ever stayed in -Bill is a character, great to chat with -Great room, comfy bed

-As mentioned throughout the listing, it is shared bathrooms and no included hot breakfast

It was perfect for my needs.

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.

Everything

Bills reliable taxi to airport did not arrive causing much stress

Beautifully restored house in conservation area, furnished faithfully to the period - a veritable living museum.

Shared bathroom is not ideal - but a minor inconvenience!

Great mattress Beautiful antique decor Pleasant and knowledgeable host

Some fresh fruit with breakfast would have been nice.

Enjoyed staying in this historic home with antiques displayed. Bill our host was wonderful. It was perfectly located to walk downtown or visit the Rooms, St. John's, the wharf. We had a very enjoyable stay.

I am just a morning coffee drinker, no breakfast but there were plenty of options.

Location, 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.

Fantastic Location. Gracious host. A truly unique stay in a beautiful heritage house that is much loved and taken care of by its owner.

walking distance to George street and the harbour, comfortable beds

No a/c and window would not open

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.

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.

Beautiful with antiques and stories! such a treat!

sharing a bathroom

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.
