Location, location, location

What this rental lacks in amenities and cleanliness, it makes up for in location.Downsides: not super clean, very under-equipped kitchen, and only one bathroom (and the door didn’t lock ).Upsides: Amazing location. Grocery store, restaurants and the waterfront are just steps away.Parking is hit and miss, but easy enough once you figure it out.

Parking and Smoke Detectors

The unit was clean and in a great location. We did have a few issues though that I think others should know about. The listing indicated that parking was available but that it was paid parking. That was fine. We had a rental car so needed parking. When we received the check-in information it stated that there was a risk we could get blocked in the parking space and using the parking was at our own risk. We needed to know we’d be able to get out of the spot (we were there for my son’s graduation and had other time sensitive commitments). I messaged asking about other parking options and never received a response. We ended up finding street parking. Also, the parking spot isn’t reserved for the unit and wasn’t always available. We also noticed that all of the smoke detectors seemed to be removed. They responded to my message expressing concern and saying someone would come by to check. I don’t think anyone came by and I never received an update. There didn’t appear to be any working some detectors in the unit which is a real concern in an older building with multiple short term rental units.

Nice Place

The place itself was very clean and comfortable. Couldn’t figure out why a bedroom window was naked shut though. Also, an upgrade on sheets and towels would go a long way.

Safety and heat

The property was advertised accurately, clean and location was great.Communication was odd with the manager as I asked about parking and they said they didnt know but then an automated text gave me the info i needed. We advised when we checked in that smoke detectors were sitting on a shelf and not connected. The response was not received by text and only when I sent in request again as to why I smoke detectors were disconnected did I get a response through the VRBO website. Even then nobody came to fix this and so are you concern the entire

A pleasant stay

The property was very clean inside and comfortable. The location is quite good. The property was for sale so there were showings during our stay and we were advised last minute. They have a garbage management issue behind the property - there are a number of units and it was overflowing and quite unpleasant.

Great spot to stay in Halifax

My husband and I & our adult children stayed here and loved it. The location couldn’t be better for walking everywhere, and also proximity to groceries, restaurants, coffee etc. We liked the fact that we each had a bedroom and also a separate living room to hang out & play cards when we weren’t out exploring.

Charming 4-bed apartment, fabulous location

We, a family of six, chose this charming VRBO for our son's graduation at St. Mary's, and it exceeded all expectations. Nestled on the second and top floor of a traditional, historic Halifax home, the apartment exuded warmth and charm, beautifully renovated to modern standards. Its central location allowed us to explore Halifax effortlessly; from the university to the waterfront's best restaurants, we walked everywhere with ease, even popping to the grocery store conveniently nearby. Our host's attentive check-ins ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect, enhancing our Halifax experience. Without hesitation, we HIGHLY recommend this property. You're sure to love it just as much as we did! - Tonya

Unser Eindruck: das Objekt ist ein Fake. Keine Kommunikation im Vorfeld. Wir haben 2,5 Stunden nach check-in Zeit eine Antwort auf mehrfache Anrufe und Mails bezüglich den Log-in Daten bzw. Check-in erhalten. Wir mussten uns kurzfristig ein neues und deutlich teureres Objekt mieten.

We were 7 friends who had a grest time in this cozy little appartment. Southside Halifax, 10-15 minute walk downtown. Close to a Sobey's, liquor store, small restaurants, quiet neighborhood. Instructions were clear, I didn't have to reach out to the owner for anything.
