Halifax stay

Great location. This is actually a 4 bdrm place 2 bathrooms. Which is great. Floors were not the cleanest, windowsills, blinds. No written or online instructions present on arrival except internet access. Pre sent check in instructions were confusing and gave 2 different codes both stating that there was a key box. No key. Just door code. But owners were very responsive which was great.

Not what we expected according to the online review

The location was good and the kitchen was well stocked in as far as dishes, cutlery, towels,laundry detergent etc The place needs a good cleaning! The chair in the living room needs to be cleaned as it had a bad odor. The downstairs bathroom especially. Lots of missing light bulbs making the place dark. Doors didn’t close properly in the upstairs bathroom and in the bedroom downstairs. The front inside door also didn’t close properly. The downstairs mattresses were terrible and after the second night we referred to them as prison beds. The yard was overgrown with weeds and the bar b q was dirty. Some confusion with the parking space…not told where it was until we called the owner twice. When we parked in the spot directed we were questioned by the owner of the property to as why we were there. It was confusing. For the price we paid we expected better!!

A nice little home downtown

It was great to stay in a little historic home with lots of character with my big family in the heart of the city. Has all the basic things you need in a home away from home. Close to many amenities and attractions. We felt comfortable and safe in the neighborhood.

Great house for a group

We had a fantastic week in Halifax at the green house. Perfect for a large group. Only inconvenience was that the kitchen was very small to have all 10 of us eating at the same time. All questions were answered reasonably promptly. Thanks for a great week!

We had a lovely stay.

There was a lovely little back yard to relax and enjoy morning coffee/tea while watching the birds. Only negative was noise at front of home at night. Could have been alleviated if air conditioned and windows closed. Temperature was beautiful though so not needed with open windows. Would definitely return.

Halifax get away

This was exactly what three couple needed for ten days in Halifax. The house was easy to find, everyone had lots of space and nice walking distance to down town and arena. You are renting a place that is over 100 years old and starting to show in some areas still clean and safe. But the price and location make up for this. Thanks for ten wonderful days.

Ideal Location. Everything You Need !

We were in Halifax from Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal for a family birthday. This home was absolutely perfect for our needs. Lots of character and a warm , welcoming feeling. No complaints - a seamless stay. John contacted us the moment we arrived to make sure we were fine and had everything we needed.We did and more. Highest recommendation. Would happily rent the green house again ! Thankyou John and Jennifer.

Perfect location but needs love

The location and size met our family’s needs for a Christmas reunion. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. The well equipped kitchen made meal prep easier. For a house this age they’ve included lots of blankets and space heaters to mitigate cold drafts. Our concerns about a toilet that was difficult to flush never did get addressed. Two of the beds need replacing so occupants don’t roll to the middle. Little details like shoes found under the bed leave impression that the house isn’t thoroughly cleaned after previous guests’ departure. As well, a makeshift curtain rod in front bedroom isn’t doing the job. A swithchplate in another bedroom was laying on the floor needing a screw. The cupboards in the kitchen have all sorts of objects filling up space including the instructions for the house that we only found on last day. A little organization of these cupboards would make things easier to find and guests’ could maintain that order. Over our week here we did organise utensil drawer which just has too many things in it for what is needed. These are simple and quick fixes to maintain but because they weren’t done upon our arrival they reflect the rating on the house.

Fab house for large group

Great stay in Halifax for my sisters birthday. It was a girls weekend and the house was amazing to accommodate all 10 of us. Had a few questions and John and Jennifer were great at answering our emails. The house is a great location close to everything or a short cab ride. Well equipped as we did cook in on 2 nights. Would definitely recommend this house to you and your family. Cheers

Lovely, centrally located and plenty of room

Close to downtown, we were able to walk everywhere and did. The house itself is completely apportioned, with plenty of space for six people (each needing a place to sleep) with plenty of bedding and kitchenware. The house itself was lovely and we had as much fun in it as we did in the pubs and restaurants in Halifax. Very close to the Citadel and we walked over to observe the Remembrance Day ceremonies. This was the perfect place for a bunch of friends' first visit to Halifax, thank you very much to the hosts!

Perfect home for a little family get together

We stayed in the green house in July and it was the perfect size/location for us. Six adults and four kids aged 3-7. We enjoyed citadel park and went to the harbour most days. There’s a cute little ice cream shop around the corner too! We loved being walking distance to everything! We also enjoyed that we could sit around the dining room comfortably once the kids were in bed for game night! So fantastic. John was helpful and responsive (not that we needed much, the home is loaded!). Will stay here again in a heartbeat the next time we are in town.

Great Place !

This was a great place to stay at. Plenty of room and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were great for my mom as the stairs would have been difficult for her. This place is just a few minutes away from everything and has a dedicated parking in the back. Would stay here again if my travels ever took me back to Halifax.

Easily accessible to downtown. Walking or driving.

Very clean.Plenty of room.. would definitely rent again. Reason didn't give 5 star..There were 6 of us with 2 cars,.1 dedicated parking spot . When not using 2nd car, it had to be moved every 2 hrs on street during day . Only 4 chairs to sit at table for meals.. Owner did offer to bring over some old steel chairs when we inquired,.Would have been nice to have had these in place upon arrival.
