We love the location. It was close to downtown, but very quiet. The view from the balcony is quite impressive of the harbour and also of the ships in the harbor. Our host was very responsive to any questions that we had. We would go back in a heartbeat

Super clean, quiet, comfortable. Centrally located making walking around St.Johns easy. Well stocked. Sundeck with outstanding views. So fun to see the large ships coming into the harbour. One of the best and well thought out homes I’ve rented.

Perfect place to stay

Had everything we needed and more. Weather was warmer than usual but there were plenty of fans to keep us comfortable. Great location, and can’t beat the view from the deck.

Beautiful property! The decorating was absolutely amazing. Worked out perfect for 2 couples, sitting out watching the freighters coming into the harbour was great and interesting. Location, location, location. I highly recommend this vacation spot. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect property

This property was perfect for walking to all of the attractions that St. John’s has to offer….the proximity to the harbour provides a beautiful view and lots of activity surrounding the ships in port…..staying in a house at the base of Signal Hill was a treat….the house is just as it appears in the photos and the hosts were attentive to all of our needs.

Salt & Battery, St. John’s, Nfld

We had a wonderful stay at a beautiful property. The description was spot-on and if anything, they over-delivered. Everything we could ask for in a perfect location. Close to downtown, right on the harbour, walkable to Signal Hill. For us too as a three adult family group (mom, dad, daughter), it was a big plus to have 2 equally sized and furnished bedrooms, large fully equipped kitchen, two washrooms, a living room and a deck.

I cannot say enough of this place. It was all about perfection to every detail. It was comforting to know I had resources available ax I recently started to travel solo. It was extremely comfortable and everything was available at your disposal. It left me enjoying my time there without having to struggle with unexessary inconveniences. Thank you to my Hosts for making my experience unforgetable. Love the decor and cokor coordination within the home. It was calming and eye appealing.

Perfect!

We’ve never stayed at a cleaner nor better equipped and decorated place than salt & battery! The location was perfect for downtown access and scenic hill trails - with beautiful views of the St John’s harbour. Every detail of a comfortable stay is looked after - and Tracey was great to deal with. Highly recommend!!

Fine details and finishing touches

We spent 9 days in this cozy, bright, and relaxing space. I can't say enough good about the house, the check-in process, all the small details and literally everything you could think of that you might need for your stay. Would highly recommend Salt and Battery to anyone and we will be staying here in the future. What a great spot

Exceeded my expectations

Beautiful decor, comfy beds, and clean clean clean. Above and beyond, providing small snacks like granola bars and fruit snacks to make up remover pads and wet wipes in the bathroom. Bedrooms had plenty of extra linens and a toasty quilt you could add to the bed if your a little chilly. Easy access to the signal hill trails. Overall, I’d give this place and host a 12 out 10. :-)
