First time using air bnb, consequently first time using zion inn, 4 and a half stars out of 5 is a more accurate star rating but the app won't allow it.
I stayed at one of the rooms on 30 Jean Street. For the price I was paying I was expecting to be staying at a questionable area of the city, however I was surprised to find that the neighborhood was in a very nice "middle class" section of the town. From what I've been told there are 10 rooms available and not all offer parking so if thats important to you make sure your room comes with it.
As far as any cons there's not many especially considering what you pay for. The parking is a little tight in the back and its easy to double park, so if you do stay here please be cordial of the parking space. With that said I never went without a parking space. Also you need to pay to use the washer and dryer and it only accepts loonies, which i am fine with although I wish that were advertised ahead of time so I could prepare to bring with me some extra loonies for the trip.
I did a fair bit of research before booking my stay and this was by far the best value option. I found rooms at a competitive price point on kijiji on a week to week basis, however that doesn't include your airbnb insurance services such as your damage deposits, refund if your airbnb host is not providing good services, etc.
Overall I would strongly consider returning if I do come back to the st.john area. To the good folks at zion inn, thanks for having me over!
