Kimmer was delightful. I somehow “popped” a breaker so I reached out to her. She responded promptly, telling me what to do to rectify the problem and offered to come by to fix it herself. We had a lovely conversation. If I ever have the need for a place to stay in the future, I hope this property is available!

AMAZING !!!!My daughter and I were blown away by this adorable little unit. The decor is top level, and is cozy and comfortable. It is a very quick commute (car or ferry) to Halifax. Dartmouth itself is really great - with lots to do within walking distance once you get to the shopping/dining area. (Which is also AMAZING) Finding parking was sometimes a challenge, but it was very inexpensive. We didn't prepare meals in the unit, so cannot comment on those amenities. My only suggestions for extra convenience would be::: An additional mirror outside of the bathroom (we were two girls trying to get ready at the same time ) :: A night stand on the other side of the bed as wellWe had an amazing stay and would definitely return if we have the opportunity to visit the Halifax area again.

Parking was easy but the drive is steep. There is a lower spot for a small car. I have a big truck. The raod is a little busy at times so backing out was trick. The place was clean and had everything you needed. Downtown was 5 min car drive. Host was easily to get hold of and responded quickly.

Absolutely fantastic spot to stay in Dartmouth. Super clean space, with lovely decor. Felt bigger inside than pics imply. Very communicative host who gave us all the info for a perfectly smooth check in. Little book with top recommendations nearby was great. 15 min walk to the ferry to Halifax made it super convenient. Would 100% stay here again.
