About this property

Character 2BR Steps to Halifax Commons. Walkable and cozy

Welcome to your home away from home in one of Halifax's most walkable neighbourhoods. Located directly across from the beautiful Halifax Commons, this bright and comfortable two-bedroom apartment offers the perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and classic Halifax character.
Special August Offer
Stays between July 31 and August 28 are available at a discounted rate as we will be installing new heat pumps in the building during this period. The work is expected to cause minor daytime disruptions for approximately 3–5 business days, such as contractor activity and intermittent noise. All work will take place during normal business hours, and the apartment will remain fully functional throughout your stay. We've discounted these dates to reflect this temporary inconvenience.

Spend your mornings with a coffee overlooking the park, explore downtown on foot, or enjoy the many cafés, restaurants, breweries, and shops just minutes away. Whether you're visiting for work, medical appointments, university events, or a weekend getaway, you'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The Space

This private second-floor apartment features two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a bright living area, and small workspace, making it ideal for couples, small families, business travellers, and longer stays.
Our goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space where you can relax after a day exploring Halifax.

Why Guests Love Staying Here

• Exceptional location directly across from the Halifax Commons
• Walk to downtown, hospitals, universities, cafés, restaurants, grocery stores, and local attractions

Good to Know Before You Book
We believe in setting clear expectations so you can choose the stay that's right for you.
• The apartment is located on the second floor and is accessed by one flight of stairs. There is no elevator. Guests should be comfortable using stairs.
• This apartment is located in a classic Halifax home. While it has been updated, it retains the charm and character of an older property rather than the feel of a newly built condominium.
• There is no on-site parking. Paid street parking is available nearby through the Halifax Regional Municipality.
• Bedrooms include dressers/ clothing racks for storage rather than traditional built-in closets.

It's not often that people who start out by being your VRBO hosts end your time together by becoming your "friends in Canada", but that is exactly what happened. Our hosts, Jen and Madison could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay. It made Halifax, which we found a very friendly and inviting city, even more so. They also proved to be a very pleasant pair to spend an afternoon or an evening with. The apartment, which is close to the commons, the citadel, the fun of the North End, and a brief walk to the waterfront, was as cozy and attractive as described. (and the ice cream at Dee Dee's was phenomenal!!). We invited them to spend time in our VRBO, and hope to return to Halifax soon.

We are from Nova Scotia and live at this house in the winter. This is our first year on vrbo from airbnb.

Why they chose this property

Honestly I love the vibe of the area. It's chill and there's always something going on. Roller skating on the oval or getting ice cream at deedees. It's just a unique place to be.
