This house was exactly what we were looking for in the St John’s area. It is a lovely classic beautiful old home. We appreciated the calm and quiet neighborhood (Portland can be fairly hectic). It’s close to restaurants/bars-just a few minutes by car. Try the John Street Cafe for breakfast, it has great food and a nice atmosphere. The house and the host (Tim) were welcoming but laid back. Check in was simple and easy, all done ahead of our arrival. The property was ready for us and equipped with what we needed. We felt very comfortable there. And we actually didn’t mind the 24 steps up to the suites-the view is so worth it. The views from the grounds are excellent too, and very photogenic!
