Cute, Cozy, Clean, Convenient

Absolutely fantastic spot to stay in Dartmouth. Super clean space, with lovely decor. Felt bigger inside than pics imply. Very communicative host who gave us all the info for a perfectly smooth check in. Little book with top recommendations nearby was great. 15 min walk to the ferry to Halifax made it super convenient. Would 100% stay here again.

Kimmer was delightful. I somehow “popped” a breaker so I reached out to her. She responded promptly, telling me what to do to rectify the problem and offered to come by to fix it herself. We had a lovely conversation. If I ever have the need for a place to stay in the future, I hope this property is available!
