The location was easy walking distance to Bonavista Puffin and Whale Tours as well as restaurants. The ceiling height inside the unit was not an issue for our group but could be for others. The sofa in the living room provided an extra sleeping surface if needed. The bathroom is beautiful. My only suggestion would be to add extra mirrors in few places to make it quicker for several people to get ready in the morning. I would love to stay here again. ##### Lorri C.

Hosts were very quick to address any issues. Only issue is that due to the age of the house the ceiling height is very low. The doors frames have a clearance of 5’.8 and the ceilings themselves are only about 6 feet tall upstairs so you might have to bend down to avoid hitting your head if your tall. ##### Jodi Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean-Francois Aug 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication A great property! ##### Jean-Francois Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom S.
