    Such a great place we decided to extend our stay! The location can’t be beat - you can walk to so many amazing restaurants, cafes, shops and the waterfront. It was very comfortable, spacious and clean - and in a historic building! This is the only place we will stay in Halifax from now on.

    we stayed here for four nights with our family event in Halifax. we had a great time. the location is amazing with so much within walking distance but the house is quiet and shielded from outside noise. the history of the home is appealing but it has all the amenities we needed. it is on the second and third floor so you need to be able to do stairs. some of the things important to us: the bedrooms which had air conditioning (3/4) were very comfortable in the summer heat. There were fans to move the air. All the beds were comfortable. The water pressure is good. The kitchen is new and clean with a dish washer. Fabulous location. Easy check in process. Simple check out: Not a huge list of complicated check out tasks like we have had at other rentals. Helpful but non-invasive host.

    This beautifully appointed home was exactly what is depicted in the photos and located just 3 blocks from Halifax Harbour. Even though it was located closely to many historical sites, it is located in a quite area neighbour filled with many locally own shops and wonderful restaurants. The home felt welcoming from the moment you walked through the doors. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and beds were very comfortable. The extra amenities that were available for our used were equal to some very high end boutique hotels that we have stayed in. After our daily tours of this beautiful city, we looked forward to relaxing in the large living room and felt like we were returning to our home away from home. Thank you Holly for allowing us to stay in this incredible home.

    Old property but as such they need to pay special attention to cleanliness. I ended up with bites on my head and we saw a mouse twice in the kitchen. Stayed at 3 Fairmonts prior to the stay at this charming and historic property which i thought would be a nice finisher and more intimate. Lovely property and ideal location but needs some attention and monies into it. Host was rude when these issues were brought up. We never asked for monies back and dont intend to. Live and learn. Thats the experience and maybe they will rectify for future guests. Give the property some love please and be more courteous at minimum in communications with your guests please.

    The property was beautiful, clean and in the perfrct location for being able to walk anywhere in downtown. Close to a park for kids and lots of choice of restaurants too. So much history in the building was an extra bonus!
