We rented this home in Halifax during a very difficult time for our family following a sudden loss. Family members came from across Canada, and this house provided the space and comfort we needed to gather, support one another, and share memories. It was clean, welcoming, and well-equipped, making it feel like a true home away from home. We are grateful to the hosts for providing such a warm and comfortable place during a very tragic time. Thank you
