Location is excellent! Close to good food, the water front and tourist attractions. The accommodations themselves have a lot to be desired. The apartment wasn't clean, there were burn marks on the couch and cuchions, and washroom shower drain required plunging to drain.There is also no designated parking, however we found a street nearby the gas station which allowed us to park the vehicle for the entire stay.

Great place to stay in the south end

This was the upstairs unit of a multi-unit historic looking home. Close to downtown, and great for exploring Halifax.

Great spot to stay in Halifax

My husband and I & our adult children stayed here and loved it. The location couldn’t be better for walking everywhere, and also proximity to groceries, restaurants, coffee etc. We liked the fact that we each had a bedroom and also a separate living room to hang out & play cards when we weren’t out exploring.

Nice Place

The place itself was very clean and comfortable. Couldn’t figure out why a bedroom window was naked shut though. Also, an upgrade on sheets and towels would go a long way.

This was a great place close to downtown. Although we recommend this place there is only really 3 bedrooms one with a king, queen and a single bed. There is a pullout bed in the living room which is not convenient. What is called a 4th bedroom has a sectional sofa that makes it hard to get in the room and would not be a great place to sleep. Excellent support from management!! Thank you for everything!!

Location, location, location

What this rental lacks in amenities and cleanliness, it makes up for in location.Downsides: not super clean, very under-equipped kitchen, and only one bathroom (and the door didn’t lock ).Upsides: Amazing location. Grocery store, restaurants and the waterfront are just steps away.Parking is hit and miss, but easy enough once you figure it out.

A pleasant stay

The property was very clean inside and comfortable. The location is quite good. The property was for sale so there were showings during our stay and we were advised last minute. They have a garbage management issue behind the property - there are a number of units and it was overflowing and quite unpleasant.

Thank you Christie! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the stay overall and appreciate your comments about the trash so we may look into this further.

Since the home didn't have air conditioning you would think the windows would stay up to let in fresh air. We had to improvise and put pots under them to hold them up. The windows were horrendously dirty! The one window in the living room was broken and taped together. Many light fixtures only had a few light bulbs working, and many were even missing. The stove had 3 burners that were broken and bent. The kitchen tap moved every time you went to turn on the water. There was only salt and pepper on site. Most places we've stayed had at least sugar, spices, coffee, tea bags. There were no wash clothes. The paint was chipped on most walls. The back porch had boards missing so that it was unsafe to walk on. The back yard had an old bathtub in it amid all the weeds. What was good was the location. It was within walking distance of the boardwalk. I would not recommend this location for the price we paid for it.

We were 7 friends who had a grest time in this cozy little appartment. Southside Halifax, 10-15 minute walk downtown. Close to a Sobey's, liquor store, small restaurants, quiet neighborhood. Instructions were clear, I didn't have to reach out to the owner for anything.

Charming 4-bed apartment, fabulous location

We, a family of six, chose this charming VRBO for our son's graduation at St. Mary's, and it exceeded all expectations. Nestled on the second and top floor of a traditional, historic Halifax home, the apartment exuded warmth and charm, beautifully renovated to modern standards. Its central location allowed us to explore Halifax effortlessly; from the university to the waterfront's best restaurants, we walked everywhere with ease, even popping to the grocery store conveniently nearby. Our host's attentive check-ins ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect, enhancing our Halifax experience. Without hesitation, we HIGHLY recommend this property. You're sure to love it just as much as we did! - Tonya

Safety and heat

The property was advertised accurately, clean and location was great.Communication was odd with the manager as I asked about parking and they said they didnt know but then an automated text gave me the info i needed. We advised when we checked in that smoke detectors were sitting on a shelf and not connected. The response was not received by text and only when I sent in request again as to why I smoke detectors were disconnected did I get a response through the VRBO website. Even then nobody came to fix this and so are you concern the entire

Parking and Smoke Detectors

The unit was clean and in a great location. We did have a few issues though that I think others should know about. The listing indicated that parking was available but that it was paid parking. That was fine. We had a rental car so needed parking. When we received the check-in information it stated that there was a risk we could get blocked in the parking space and using the parking was at our own risk. We needed to know we’d be able to get out of the spot (we were there for my son’s graduation and had other time sensitive commitments). I messaged asking about other parking options and never received a response. We ended up finding street parking. Also, the parking spot isn’t reserved for the unit and wasn’t always available. We also noticed that all of the smoke detectors seemed to be removed. They responded to my message expressing concern and saying someone would come by to check. I don’t think anyone came by and I never received an update. There didn’t appear to be any working some detectors in the unit which is a real concern in an older building with multiple short term rental units.

A nice place to stay for a few nights in a good location. Overall, I’d stay again, but a few things could be improved. On the plus, it was clean and easy to get in and out. The wifi needs a booster to reach all the rooms. One of the bedrooms didn’t have a functioning lock or latch, so one person’s door couldn’t effectively shut for privacy. There were mouse traps throughout, which is expected in old houses, but not everyone will be ok with this and there was no instructions on what to do if they caught the mouse. The pigeons mating outside the windows at 5am was noisy enough to wake up one of the guests. The price was ok, as a sail competition was going on and it was still cheaper for three people to stay here rather than in a hotel.

Unser Eindruck: das Objekt ist ein Fake. Keine Kommunikation im Vorfeld. Wir haben 2,5 Stunden nach check-in Zeit eine Antwort auf mehrfache Anrufe und Mails bezüglich den Log-in Daten bzw. Check-in erhalten. Wir mussten uns kurzfristig ein neues und deutlich teureres Objekt mieten.
