About this property

Artists home in the heart of Halifax

Lovely 2 bedroom, main floor artists home in the heart of Halifax. Full of art and character, this century home is filled with modern amenities, comfortable beds, and a fully equipped kitchen. The house is within easy walking distance to universities, hospitals, the Public Gardens and all that downtown has to offer, including being only a 25-30 minute walk to the waterfront. The unit has a private deck and private parking.
The space
This private main-floor flat is perfect for friends, solo travellers, couples, self directed artist retreats and small families. This space is welcoming, comfortable, centrally located, and filled with natural light. This is the entire main floor in an over/under duplex, well equipped for short or longer stays.

The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of counter and cupboard space, oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, as well as basics like salt and pepper, olive oil etc.

There are two bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. The kitchen area has a dining table for four people. The bathroom has a combination shower/bathtub.
Guest access
• This is a main floor apartment, with an upper level unit that is not accessible to guests.
• The basement is not accessible to guests.
• You have access to the backyard (shared with the upstairs unit) and a private deck that is yours alone.
• There is one parking spot reserved for you behind the house.
• I provide fresh linens and towels.
• The house has High-speed internet and TV with a Firestick for accessing your streaming services.
Other things to note
This is my home and I live upstairs, using the studio you are staying in as my working photography studio when it is not rented. The art in the studio is all original, and the furnishings and amenities are mine rather than being purchased for a rental unit.

This home isn’t intended for or suited for parties or large gatherings, and respectfully, isn’t available as a student rental.

Families are welcome, but I don't have highchairs, cribs, travel beds, bed rails, plastic dishes, etc. The furniture and art in the space are primarily intended for adults rather than for the more rambunctious variety of children.

This is a central Halifax residential neighbourhood. The house is on a main street, and there is some street noise at the front of the house. It is primarily daytime traffic noise, and diminishes at night. The bedrooms are located at the back of the house and are remarkably quiet, and the street noise is more than made up for by the beautiful cemetery across the street.

There is no cable.

The backyard is shared with the owner in the upper unit, and is primarily used for accessing the parking space.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I am a photographer and artist, originally from Toronto, and now living in Halifax. I have lived in many places over the last several decades, including several times in France and other places in Europe. I love having the opportunity to stay in homes when I travel rather than hotels, shopping at the local farmers markets, cooking with local ingredients, and feeling like I'm living in the city rather than just being a tourist. Because the nature of my work is that I don't need access to this studio full time (I have a smaller one upstairs), I really enjoy having the opportunity to share it with others so that they can enjoy the house and Halifax as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

I looked for a long time before I found this house, which I fell in love with partially for the house and partially for the incredible location. Right across the street is a beautiful old cemetery, and the block after that is the Halifax Public Gardens. Getting downtown just takes a walk through these 2 beautiful spaces.

What makes this property unique

The house is 115 years old. It has the charm of an older home, but with all of the comforts of modern life. Last year I fully insulated it and added a new furnace, and there is also air conditioning which isn't very common in Nova Scotia. The beds are new and comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, unlike many short term rentals with just the minimum of cutlery and dishes, and there is original artwork on the walls.
