This historic apartment exceeded our expectations in every way. Its prime location allowed us to easily walk to all the sites we wished to visit in the heart of Halifax. The space was perfectly suited for our family, particularly accommodating our three teenagers.Tristan and Lane are exceptional hosts who demonstrate a profound commitment to their guests' comfort. Their instructions and communications were consistently clear and timely. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to return and stay here again in the near future.

Yes, the state was amazing, rooms were clean Tristan and Laney were both extremely well organized and assisted us with ideas around the city and made the check-in and checkout process incredibly smooth. We had a rental car and had some available parking in the back with photos on where to park. We will definitely be renting with them again. Thank you, again

Location was great, quite a bit of street noise, however that could not be helped. Lock box to gain entrance was of issue, we struggled to open the box and to close the box when leaving. Other guests were having the same issue. Would suggest replacing with a better system.

Hi. The baseboards and floors were dirty. There were rips in the bedspread in the bedroom closest to the bathroom. The couch was very worn and dirty. Lastly there was a mouse that ran across the kitchen floor on Wednesday around 8 pm. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very clean. Overall the unit did not look like the photos online.

Extremely comfortable and clean townhouse apartment in a great area of Halifax. The host responded to each question we had faster than I would ever expect of anyone! VRBO has the address a bit off, but the host gives you exactly where it is and how everything is laid out. This includes trouble-free instructions on getting into the apartment.

Parking free, which is a rarity in the downtown waterfront. It’s far enough away from the main area that traffic and noise aren’t an issue and you can walk all within 10 minutes to access restaurants, etc. Even did takeout from Italian restaurant across the street on the corner. My family enjoyed! Definitely not a rental for anyone with mobility issues. Walk around from parking and stairs. Great coffee at The Wired Monk when the main barista is there. My husband stated, “he made the best coffee.” We got some cheap hangers for the closet, only a few were available and we needed a place to put our coats. No coat rack/hangers, but not really an issue with a closet in each bedroom. A shelf or medicine cabinet beside the sink would be great, with three of us we were crunched for real estate for our toiletries. So recommending everyone a good toiletry bag and creativity (shelf over water heater). Internet issues, host is aware. We honestly, did not watch tv, and were busy during our stay. I would rent again. They have pretty much everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Absolutely Perfect!!!

Lane's place was incredible! I was traveling with family on the east coast and decided to do a night in Halifax before heading back to Ontario. I do not regret booking this beautiful suite! The historic charm and modern touches really made us feel cozy and comfortable. The location was PERFECT! Right in the heart of the downtown only a minute's walk from the waterfront and great restaurants. If you’re looking for charm, location and a really responsive and considerate host, this is a great place. Wish I had more time to spend at Lane's place and can't wait to visit again.

There were a lot of things that were empty but the renter sent someone to fill them quickly. The main thing that was frustrating was i did a lights wash and either the washer or dryer put black stuff all over all the whites. I told the renter this and they said that it needs to be replaced.... no offer to pay for the ruined white clothes or anything. That was not ok to me because they clearly already knew it wasnt good.... we were staying for 10 days in this location. Laundry had to happen. frustrating
