About this property

Halifax Downtown 1 QUEEN BEDROOM in Century Flat - 30 + Nights June / Aug 31



This property on Pepperell Street has downsized and does not sleep 7 people as some of the older websites report. I only have a queen bedroom available for 1 guest anytime between June and August 31, 2025 on a long term basis or at least 30 + nights for one person.

This flat itself is shared with the host and 2 other guests who live on the 3rd floor in loft-like bedrooms.

1 full bath 2nd Floor and 1/2 bathroom 3rd Floor - tiny toilet closet so be careful not to bump your head. :)

"All in one" Washer and Dryer Combo - 3rd Floor - Ironing Board - Drying Racks

The historic waterfront is 18 minutes by foot - Halifax Common / Bike and Skating Oval; Children's Playground, a Skate Board Park and new outdoor swimming pool.

The Convention Centre and the Scotia Bank Centre are only 15 min walk.

Museum of Natural History and the Public (Victorian) Garden are found by foot in 10 minutes.

The Universities i.e., Saint Mary’s, Dalhousie, and Nascad, English as a Alternate Language Schools and Business Colleges are close.

The Canadian Museum of Immigration and Pier 21

Pepperell Street and Robie Street connection is the 2nd highest spot in Halifax.

The Atlantica Hotel sit on the corner of Pepperell and Robie and in the same block as this property / flat - just 2 doors down and across the street.

First time on the East Coast

My husband and I traveled from Victoria to meet up with relatives from the U.K to explore Atlantic Canada. We found Paulette and her accommodations a great place to start our adventures. Centrally located we were able to walk to many local attractions, including Halifax Harbour. Place worked out great for the five of us and definitely would stay again. Thanks Paulette for your hospitality and help during our stay.

Great place, great owner

The apartment was in a great location. 5 minutes walk to the shops and restaurants on Quinnpool Rd, 10 minutes walk to the Citadel, and 20 minutes walk to the harbour. The place had everything we needed and easily accommodated to families consisting of 4 adults and 3 kids. The owner, Paulette was very friendly and easy to communicate with. There was a problem with the kitchen sink faucet and Paulette had a plumber fix the same day. I would highly recommend this place.

Paulette was great to deal with, she has a cute home in a great neighbourhood. You can walk to a variety of restaurants and stores and it’s a 30 walk to the harbour front. Had a great visit, thank you for sharing your home with us. Sharon

Great stay in Halifax

This is a great property for a visit to Halifax. It is very roomy and much larger than the photos would indicate.. We were traveling as a family of five and everyone had their own room. All of the conveniences you need for a comfortable stay are there. It is a great location, very close to downtown and Quinpool Road, which is a block away, has every type of store/restaurant you need. Paulette was a great host and very welcoming. We would highly recommend for a short (or even long) stay in Halifax.

Awesome home away from home!

This had everything we needed for our stay. Clean comfortable, safe, walking distance to all your needs. The owner went above and beyond to help us find anything we questioned, restaurants, grocery store, coffee house. We where a family of4 adults so this gave us our own space very affordable. I would highly recommend this property.

Excellent, place, location, hostess.

We have never been to Halifax and so were naive about where to stay. We lucked out! Paulette’s place is ideally located for everything we wanted to do...and most in walking distance. Her place was spotless and although she lived below us she did not intrude....unless we asked, and we did! She is a charming hostess and most wonderful to stay with. Our friends and family visiting in Halifax WILL be staying with her.

Nice cozy stay

Spacious bedrooms and kitchen. Close to downtown attractions. Perfect for students or tourists. We were able to sleep 4 adults and 4 children no problem. Does not have a livingroom, but kitchen can be used as a common visiting room for the adults.

Great location

The place was clean and comfortable and easy to get to. Paulette was accessible and easy going. We wished more of the windows could be opened to take advantage of the lovely cool air, but were stuck with AC in several rooms. Also, there was no living room or space for our family to gather, other than the kitchen. Best for a bunch of unrelated adults who want to do their own thing in their rooms when not out on the town. We loved Halifax!

Great time in Halifax

Had a great time, Paulette was so accommodating with anything we needed. It felt like she went above and beyond. We loved that the house was so close to downtown that almost everything local was within walking distance. It was also nice that it was so close to Superstore for us to be able to do our grocery shopping. Thank you so much Paulette for all of your help with our stay in Halifax. :)

Propre et bien située

Nous avons été très bien durant 3 jours, maison propre, très bien située et Mme Paulette fut accueillante. Il ne manquait qu'un salon, les chambres sont grandes mais l'air de vie commune est très petite, petite cuisine et il n'y a pas de salon. Un beau parc à 2 minutes à pied.

About the host

Hosted by Paulette

Host profile image

In 2025 the property description has changed - we offer a downsize version from the entire place to 1 calendar listing a queen bedroom on the 2nd floor. It is being promoted for June, July and August for 1 guest on a long-term basis 30 + nights.

This property location continues to be supreme as the soul of city central - it has it all, and is easily accessible to historic or green space venues. The ocean air is at your doorstep . . . on a misty summer night you can hear the fog horn . . .

5 Star Location - on Pepperell St - 2 doors down from Robie St.

This property is in the heart of the city! We have a bike and skate oval, a shopping and food district, The Halifax Common, Museums, Play Parks and Pools. Everything is here!

The property itself is on a side street and it seems like a small town with a mixture of century and midcentury homes, brick and mortar buildings - and trees that line the street.

This property has been family-owned and occupied as a set of flats since 1994. We are exclusively a "shared long-term stay - 30 day" accommodation.

Description of property:

Starting with the sunny kitchen - it has century charm - accent red stools and chairs are around the dining table and open cupboards so everything like dishes, cutlery, glassware and pots and pans are visible at a glance.

The dishwasher is a portable hook-up, so if you want a video "on how-to hook up" let me know. There is a basin in the sink if you prefer to hand-wash.

There is a stove, microwave, 2 fridges and numerous small appliances. Queen Bedroom guest and the host share 1 fridge while the 3rd guests share another.

Kitchen cupboard has dry goods - flour, salt and pepper, spices, oil, sugar etc.

The queen bedroom is on the main floor of the flat - ground floor entrance to 2nd floor. Reviews connected to this room over the last 8 months show 5 star ratings.

Why they chose this property


I am a retired teacher and many years ago I bought this century house - a set of flats in downtown Halifax Nova Scotia. This turned out to be the greatest neighbourhood in Halifax - everything was at my fingertips and for my 3 young children.

We joined VRBO for short-term stays during the spring and summer months in 2015 but since the Covid shut down and unforeseen life events, we have since moved to reserve 3 furnished bedrooms long-term - 30 + nights. This the first time - June 9, 2025, I will be advertising "open for business" with VRB0 for a long time. My calendars are synced with Airbnb,

Featured Queen Bedroom is on the 2nd floor - workspace - closets - nice lighting - double windows.

2 loft-like bedrooms, each with their own booking calendar, have double beds and are on the 3rd floor and reserved for 1 person per bedroom.

This property is in the heart of the city - downtown residential and amenities galore.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique in that the century old woodwork and doors are the original throughout the house. The old cast iron radiators add charm with the mix of antique and comtempory furnishings in this queen bedroom.

This flat has been host to people attending graduations, conferences, weddings, family reunions, sport and business events and festivals in the performing and visual arts.

As your Host, I am very reachable and happy to respond to you quickly. I am available by text or in person always. I will sometimes live on the 2nd floor at the top of the stairs and occasionally share the kitchen and main bath. Otherwise I tend to keep to myself and respect your privacy. :)

Guests have used this flat as a jumping off point to explore Halifax and real countryside with unique history and diverse landscape in other parts of Nova Scotia:

The Annapolis Valley - 1 hour's drive - amazing countryside - cows in pastures;
The South Shore - white sandy beaches;
Cape Breton - fabulous mountain and coastal scenery and home to international music-makers.
