This is amazing accommodation in the heart of Halifax. Great architecture and a homelike setting with all of the conveniences. Front and back doors and convenient and free parking. One of the best places I have stayed and I would highly recommend it.

Terrific location. Very pleasant flat. BUT it is not suitable for a longer stay unless you are fine living out of your suitcase. There is no dresser nor shelvers so forget about "unpacking." There IS a very small armoire but it will allow hanging up about 5 shirts and again no drawers in it. Also, oddly not a pleasant place to relax in in the evening because the only illumination in the LR is from the overhead light you see in the photo, and it's not on a dimmer switch so it's too dim to really read comfortably and too bright to watch TV when you want the lights turned down but not off. Shame. Similar situation in the BR, with only 2 small lights on either side of the bed placed on tiny stools about 2 feet high, so need to reach down to use them. Finally, the shower bathroom is very pleasant but unusually tiny and the shower itself is so small that it was not possible for me to bend at the waist to pick up a dropped bar of soap; had to squat. I'm 5'9. Those who can't fit comfortably in a standard airline seat may have trouble even entering the shower. Many of these caveats are easy fixes and were communicated to the host, who seemed extremely receptive, so check back to see if they have been addressed since October 2025.

This place is a total keeper if you're looking for history, charm, and location! It's located next to everything- both the modern and historical Halifax. We loved every minute of our stay and our host was lovely and communicative. The only thing, and it was only a minor issue, was the pullout bed. Since I'm the snorer in our group of three college friends traveling without our husbands, I'm the one that usually gets the pullout bed while my two non-snorer friends get the 'real bed' because we can usually shut some doors, etc. I'm 5'10" and 15 pounds heavier than I should be (for real, no bigger than that) and while the pullout was ok, if you are going to be traveling with a much bigger or heavier person, they will likely need to take the bed while others take the pullout. Again, not a big deal, but since we were there three nights, it won't be a good fit for a group of travelers that need a pullout for a big person.Other than that? We loved, loved, loved this lovely place.

I'll start with what was good. The checkin process was easy. The location of the building was excellent, couple block easy walk to the boardwalk and great restaurants. The response from the management team was also prompt.The not-so-good: The location of the unit with single paned windows made it quite noisy. Can hear people talking as they walk by, and all the working trucks early in the morning. The TV remote was missing, but a manager came by with a bag full of remotes (none were the brand of the TV). When they didnt work, she came back with a TV. Unfortunately, left the original TV blocking the lovely fireplace. There is no place for clothes, other than a tiny wardrobe with 4 hangers, no shelves.The bad: the misrepresentation of sleeping options. The unit is advertised to sleep 4. A queen bed in the bedroom and a queen sofabed in the living room. This is not true. The sofa bed is not a bed. It has an air mattress on the sofabed frame. An air mattress that required the manager to come by to inflate, and which deflated within 2 hours. And finally, the awful: Mice.

The property was close to as pictured. It is nicely furnished and had clean bedsing and towels. The location is perfect for taking a walk along the waterfront. The tv remote batteries gave out an hour into us watching tv at night, so we had to unplug it to turn it off. The bathroom off the kitchen is small and the door can't open all the way, but thats a minor issue. Parking direcrly behi d the house is convenient and easy with access to the back door once you get your keys from the front door foyer. I would stay there again.

I don’t normally write reviews but was pretty happy with this spot. Stayed here for a few days with my husband and our 2 little kids. Location was excellent especially with kids, easily walkable to the harbour front where we spent all of our time. Very clean so we immediately felt comfortable, and loved the bedroom space as well as living room space to hang out. Also, 5 min walk to the grocery store and a spot to grab wine / beer. Communication with our hosts was also very smooth which we appreciated. Thank you!
