Charming Historical Home in the Heart of Halifax

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.

Potential but bitter aftertaste and should have booked Muir even for double the price.

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.

Lovely accommodation - close to Dalhousie, Spring Garden for shopping, Bishop’s Landing for waterfront stroll. The apartment was quiet and very comfortable. The games and tv options were perfect for relaxing with teens. I would highly recommend.
