A bright suite with lots of room for fun and relaxation, just 5 minutes from the Halifax ferry!
This bright basement suite has plenty of space for fun/relaxation, and is just a short hop to the Halifax ferry!
I often travel around for work, and lend my apartment out to friends and family when I'm gone. I'm happy to share this spacious apartment with a bright bedroom with twin bunks (not suited for adults), a large kitchen and a cozy living room with a work desk and queen bed.
My apartment is fantastic for couples, families and small groups looking to explore Halifax and Nova Scotia!

Downtown Dartmouth is quickly growing into one of the most exciting and trendy areas in the region. With hot spots like Two if by Sea coffee shop and the Battery Park craft beer bar just across the street; plus a thriving collection of boutiques, artistic venues and of course no shortage of incredible dining options, just a few blocks away, you may find yourself booking a return trip just to enjoy everything this neighbourhood has to offer (and we'd be happy to welcome you). Rain or shine, you'll quickly discover why this is the best side of the bridge to be on (don't tell Halifax I said that though..)!

I have been notified by a recent guest that they suspect there is a mouse somewhere in the apartment. While this is uncommon for the apartment, the building is over 100 years old and located downtown (near construction and the waterfront), so it is not entirely unexplainable. The owners continue to work to resolve the issue and have implemented comprehensive pest control; however, at this time, we think it is only fair that we disclose the possibility of seeing or hearing a mouse during your stay.

Access to this apartment is 5 steps down from the parking lot, behind a gate (which you can park in front of). You will have quiet tenants above you, most guests don't hear them, but it's possible you may hear footsteps during the day (particularly going up and down the stairs).

If you prefer to avoid the verification you'll need to pay a refundable $350 security deposit which will be returned following your stay. This is similar to the "hold" process that hotels use at check-in.
There is a giant monster that lives in the shed out back (I'm kidding, I just wanted to see if you were still reading).

We had an amazing stay! Very clean property in a prime location, walking distance to the ferry terminal. Hosts were very responsive and quick to answer any questions and help us when we needed. Can’t recommend this place enough, will definitely book again!
Thanks Stefano we had a great vacation. Your accommodations had everything we could ask for, we were very comfortable. The park was so close and a great place to walk dog. Susan

Great stay at a convenient location they was close to coffee shops and restaurants. This was in the basement of a historic house and some may mind the lack of natural light. It was spacious enough for two of us to set up desks to be able to work from home.
Great family place for visiting Dartmouth/Halifax (and the rest of Nova Scotia)
We spent a week in Nova Scotia with our family (2 adults, 2 kids) and stayed in this basement apartment. It was great! Perfect location in Dartmouth (across the street from a great bakery and minutes walk to the waterfront), it was clean, and had all the necessities (kitchen, washer/dryer, separate room for the kids, 2 TVs, etc). There was an A/C unit and air purifiers as well as a bonus. There was a secure entrance and the check in and check out process was easy. Dartmouth is just a hop, skip and a jump from Halifax! Highly recommend this place to any family, couple or business person travelling and visiting the area.
