We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect and location could not be better. We were within walking distance of the majority of the cities sites and if tired from walking just a quick Uber call or e-scooter ride back

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.

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!!

This charming old house was perfect for the 4 of us on our girls trip. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The host, John, was in contact with us throughout the trip and provided us with great tips of places to go and things to do. He also checked in to make sure that everything was well. The house was really clean and both the heat and ac worked well for us.

Great location. Easy walk to many local areas. Safe neighbourhood, with lots of green space. Old character home could use some TLC in the back yard. Would have appreciated interior doors closing completely.

The green house is located in a fantastic location and allowed us the freedom to walk everywhere in town with ease. The kitchen had everything you could need to make big family meals and even had coffee available for the first morning. We happened to arrive during a particularly hot spell and were thrilled to find the house wonderfully pre-cooled for our arrival, great AC on each floor. The beds were comfy and everyone slept great. We were worried about parking our oversized vehicle but the space was plenty large enough, even shared with the neighbor. If we ever make it back to the city we’d stay here again!

Charming spacious home in great location across from the Halifax Commons Park. Walking distance from the waterfront, the Citadel, Dalhousie campus (long-ish but nice walk) and lots of great cafés and restaurants. The five of us loved our stay. Check in and out and parking easy. Big convenient kitchen with plenty of dishes, etc. Would stay again.

It was in an excellent location, across from the Citadel in walking distance from the waterfront, there is no air conditioning but with the windows open it was perfect. The street noise was minimal.

Great spot for a girls’ trip. This 4-bedroom historic home has everything you need and is just a short walk to downtown. The house is spacious, and the small backyard is perfect for sitting and relaxing, although it didn’t seem fully spring-ready and could use one more outdoor chair. The front door was a bit difficult to open at first, but it worked fine once you got the hang of it. The two bathrooms worked well for our group of five, and the kitchen was well-equipped with a large table for gathering. The beds were comfortable, and the host was very accommodating with a late checkout. They also came over promptly to help get the TV working. One tip: if you’re arriving late, ask about parking in advance. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

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!

This is a very old, historic property so there were some issues promptly resolved by the cohost because the host was out of town. One shower stall is very small and the other shower is in a clawfoot tub which takes some dexterity to negotiate. Otherwise, it’s a lovely house with much charm in a very good location and great host and cohost!!!

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.

This was the worst holiday ever.

My husband & I spent 4 weeks in the green house. It was a complete nightmare. The house was not what we had expected. It was old & run down. I would not recommend this house to anyone. It was not what was advertised. Badly in need of repair. There were no wardrobes only cubby holes. Paint peeling off the ceiling & walls. The front door was down to the bare wood & looked appalling. I could go on and be here for ever . I hope this review is seen by everyone who visits this site. Don't be fooled the pictures do not tell the whole story. The whole experience ruined our holiday and we could not wait to get home. PS. For the 4 weeks we were there were did not see John or Jennifer. I thought this was a bad show on their part. It would have been nice if either one had called and introduced themselves. But after seeing the place I think I know why they did not show. Pat &Patrick. Dublin.

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.

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.
