Very clean and well stocked home. Rob was an excellent host and always available when we had questions. The house is in a neighborhood just a 5 minute walk from downtown St John’s. There are some hills when walking but they are manageable. Overall a great home base for exploring the area.

We booked with Rob for accommodations during the Canada Games. The location was perfect - close to downtown and close to MUN and all of the tourist attractions. Rob attended to small details - he even had a water cooler of filtered water that was a pleasant surprise to fill your water bottle. The beds were comfy and no noise from outside. We really enjoyed our stay and would rebook in a heartbeat.

Fabulous!

Rob's VRBO is stunningly appointed, extremely well stocked with everything you need. It is very clean, has comfortable beds and is nicely situated within walking distance to the downtown core. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the private deck in the afternoon while waiting for our laundry to finish. Parking is right outside the door, because Rob has thoughtfully provided a parking pass. I highky recommend this vrbo
