    5 BEDROOMS - SLEEPS - 8 + Vintage Flat - Central Downtown Halifax

    This is the best location in town. This vintage flat is in the heart of the city with everything you need is a block away on Quinpool Rd. All amenities are within a five minute walk to the Quinpool Rd Shopping district - groceries, The LC, Shoppers and the best, most diverse restaurants.

    This accommodation is a 2nd and 3rd floor flat - I live in a separate flat on the first floor. The house is about 120 years old with tall ceilings and original Douglas Fir (painted) woodwork.

    The main 2nd floor has 3 large bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen and bathroom. There is no living room - all space is devoted to bedrooms. On the 3rd floor there are two bedrooms and a small half bathroom - also a laundry tub - sorry no laundry on site but there is the Bluenose Laundry Mat close by on Windsor Street. Both bedrooms on the 3rd floor have comfy beds - this space is sought after for privacy. The maximum available sleeping in the 5 bedrooms is 7 adults and 2 little people. I have two travel beds, two different sized high chairs and I installed quality top-of-the-steps gate for babies who explore in safety. :)

    The old-fashioned kitchen has the original cedar floor boards. The table with red chairs and stools gives this fully equipped all you need for making a meal.

    There are 3 flat screen TVs - 32 inch and Wi-Fi.

    Parking is for 2 spots to the right side of the building close to the house and close to the rod iron gate at the back.

    The QEII Hospital is across street on Robie and downtown to historic waterfront is 20 minutes by foot - it takes you along route of the Halifax Commons and Skating Oval; Children's Playground, a Skate Board Park; the Museum of Natural History and the Public (Victorian) Gardens. All of these sites appeal to different groups of people visiting Halifax.

    The Universities i.e., Saint Mary’s, Dalhousie, and Nascad, English as a Alternate Language Schools and Business Colleges are close. The Canadian Museum of Immigration and Pier 21 are national treasures. Taxi cabs arrive at the door on Pepperell Street within minutes and a car ride to the waterfront is less than ten minutes.

    Next to Citadel Hill, the corner of Pepperell Street and Robie is the 2nd highest spot in Halifax for a view of the city that overlooks the Common Roots Urban Farm, which is used in part for raising vegetables to support our city food bank. My family, friends and neighbours all garden there. You can browse Common Roots urban farm at your leisure . . . :)

    About Paulette Raymond

    I have been hosting visitors to Halifax on business, conference, study and holiday for over twenty years. As the "owner/occupier of this 2-unit house", I have lived in the downstairs ground floor flat for 24 years and rented the upper part of the house as a 2-stroey furnished flat. I am an educator by profession, and a modern-day innkeeper as a cultural way of life for many years. This accommodation is in the best location ever because you can go in any direction to restaurants, groceries, cultural and historic events, performing arts and sight-seeing, business and banking and green space - the ocean air is at your doorstep . . . on a misty spring or summer night you can hear the fog horn . . .

    Paulette Raymond purchased this Guest House in 1994

    Why Paulette Raymond chose West End

    This property is in the heart of the city when it comes to walking, dining, entertainment, business and sightseeing. There is no question - this is the best location is the city because it borders both business and shopping district with green spaces of the Halifax Commons and Citadel Hill where the harbour can be viewed - a 15 minute walk. The five furnished bedrooms are large with good workspace, closets, lighting and desks. On the second floor there are two queen beds and one double bed. Two rooms on the 3rd floor are large loft-like furnished rooms with double beds. For those who don't mind not having a living room to gather, the kitchen has been a maritime tradition where lots of fun occurs.

    What makes this Guest House unique

    This property is unique in that the century old woodwork and doors are the original throughout the house. The old cast iron radiators add charm in every room with the mix of vintage furnishings. This flat has been host to groups of people attending graduations, conferences, weddings, family reunions, and festivals in the performing and visual arts. Vacationers usually use this flat as a jumping off point to explore Halifax and real countryside with unique history and diverse landscape in other parts of Nova Scotia - like the Annapolis Valley - 1 hour's drive - amazing countryside - cows in pastures; the South Shore - white sandy beaches; and Cape Breton - fabulous mountain and coastal scenery and home to international music-makers.
