We stayed 2 weeks at this quaint little place. The host was very communicative, and pleasant. We had all the amenities we needed, and it was handy having a washer/dryer for visiting as long as we did. We really enjoyed our 2 week stay and would definitely go back if we ever needed to! Absolutely recommended!

Basemen suite, so very musty smelling. Back yard access, so suggest they keep it cleaned up, and cut down on the weeds.Every other property rentals, previous tenant food items frozen or canned would be left behind for next tenant, which was such a nice idea. Even ice in the freezer. Absolutely nothing kept at this property. Owner had some available forgotten travel necessities, packaged food items, even bottled at the property, with a list of the price of each item for us to leave cash on the counter for them. We didn’t mind, but thought this was unusual. Therefore, no tip.

This little Airbnb was perfect for my week stay in Halifax. It is just perfect for 1 to 2 people. Very clean, looks freshly painted and brand new. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood and even though it is in somebody’s basement, you have your own private entrance, your own bathroom, washer, and dryer kitchen and living room and bedroom. Perfect for coming and going. Every once in a great while you can hear the family upstairs walking, but that was never a problem for me and never bothered me. The host was very responsive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone staying in Halifax. It’s a very quiet, peaceful place to stay only 15 minutes drive from the city.

We enjoyed both the privacy of the apartment and the location as it was close to family we were visiting. The living room had a nice set up and enjoyed the fact that the bedroom was separate from the main area. Basic amenities provided like coffee and sweetener and the kitchen was set up for small meal prep.
