Charming heritage home with a great location

A nice little home downtown
It was great to stay in a little historic home with lots of character with my big family in the heart of the city. Has all the basic things you need in a home away from home. Close to many amenities and attractions. We felt comfortable and safe in the neighborhood.

Not what we expected according to the online review
The location was good and the kitchen was well stocked in as far as dishes, cutlery, towels,laundry detergent etc The place needs a good cleaning! The chair in the living room needs to be cleaned as it had a bad odor. The downstairs bathroom especially. Lots of missing light bulbs making the place dark. Doors didn’t close properly in the upstairs bathroom and in the bedroom downstairs. The front inside door also didn’t close properly. The downstairs mattresses were terrible and after the second night we referred to them as prison beds. The yard was overgrown with weeds and the bar b q was dirty. Some confusion with the parking space…not told where it was until we called the owner twice. When we parked in the spot directed we were questioned by the owner of the property to as why we were there. It was confusing. For the price we paid we expected better!!

This was the worst holiday ever.
My husband & I spent 4 weeks in the green house. It was a complete nightmare. The house was not what we had expected. It was old & run down. I would not recommend this house to anyone. It was not what was advertised. Badly in need of repair. There were no wardrobes only cubby holes. Paint peeling off the ceiling & walls. The front door was down to the bare wood & looked appalling. I could go on and be here for ever . I hope this review is seen by everyone who visits this site. Don't be fooled the pictures do not tell the whole story. The whole experience ruined our holiday and we could not wait to get home. PS. For the 4 weeks we were there were did not see John or Jennifer. I thought this was a bad show on their part. It would have been nice if either one had called and introduced themselves. But after seeing the place I think I know why they did not show. Pat &Patrick. Dublin.

Perfect location but needs love
The location and size met our family’s needs for a Christmas reunion. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. The well equipped kitchen made meal prep easier. For a house this age they’ve included lots of blankets and space heaters to mitigate cold drafts. Our concerns about a toilet that was difficult to flush never did get addressed. Two of the beds need replacing so occupants don’t roll to the middle. Little details like shoes found under the bed leave impression that the house isn’t thoroughly cleaned after previous guests’ departure. As well, a makeshift curtain rod in front bedroom isn’t doing the job. A swithchplate in another bedroom was laying on the floor needing a screw. The cupboards in the kitchen have all sorts of objects filling up space including the instructions for the house that we only found on last day. A little organization of these cupboards would make things easier to find and guests’ could maintain that order. Over our week here we did organise utensil drawer which just has too many things in it for what is needed. These are simple and quick fixes to maintain but because they weren’t done upon our arrival they reflect the rating on the house.

Very good experience. The yard was a bit smaller then expected and could definitely use a facelift. John was a great host that responded very quickly. Thank you

Great location!!
Great house for a big family or families travelling together. All the amenities you could need and walking distance to downtown. Right next the Commons (with parks, sports fields, tennis, green space )and the Halifax Citadel. Great location with all of the comforts of home.

Great house for a group
We had a fantastic week in Halifax at the green house. Perfect for a large group. Only inconvenience was that the kitchen was very small to have all 10 of us eating at the same time. All questions were answered reasonably promptly. Thanks for a great week!

We had a lovely stay.
There was a lovely little back yard to relax and enjoy morning coffee/tea while watching the birds. Only negative was noise at front of home at night. Could have been alleviated if air conditioned and windows closed. Temperature was beautiful though so not needed with open windows. Would definitely return.

Halifax get away
This was exactly what three couple needed for ten days in Halifax. The house was easy to find, everyone had lots of space and nice walking distance to down town and arena. You are renting a place that is over 100 years old and starting to show in some areas still clean and safe. But the price and location make up for this. Thanks for ten wonderful days.

Fabulous Family Gathering in Downtown Halifx
This was a wonderful space to spend time with family and friends. Very spacious and bright. My mother was with us and she has mobility challenges. This house had downstairs bedroom and bathroom facilities!!Access to an outdoor space with furniture was bonus. We could walk to coffee shops wonderful bakeries and restaurants. Our dog had room to run and was in an enclosed safe place. Teens could venture across the street to a open park with skate board park included. The rooms were clean and fresh. I plan to return for future visits. Other than no martini glasses all was worth it:)

Ideal Location. Everything You Need !
We were in Halifax from Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal for a family birthday. This home was absolutely perfect for our needs. Lots of character and a warm , welcoming feeling. No complaints - a seamless stay. John contacted us the moment we arrived to make sure we were fine and had everything we needed.We did and more. Highest recommendation. Would happily rent the green house again ! Thankyou John and Jennifer.

Great Downtown Halifax location!
great location in downtown Halifax for a short work trip. The house was very clean and had everything I needed. Used the large main floor bedroom which was great. I was able to squeeze in a couple skates at the Oval across the street where they offer free equipment. John and Jennifer were helpful with dining and entertainment ideas. Thanks, Chad

Great weekend stay
Awesome central location steps to everything in central Halifax. Beautiful heritage home with very cool decorations. The place was spotless and the beds were great. Perfect for four couples. Yard was great but a little cold in January. Skating at the Oval across the street was an added bonus. We will be back. Thanks to John for all the advice.

Fab house for large group
Great stay in Halifax for my sisters birthday. It was a girls weekend and the house was amazing to accommodate all 10 of us. Had a few questions and John and Jennifer were great at answering our emails. The house is a great location close to everything or a short cab ride. Well equipped as we did cook in on 2 nights. Would definitely recommend this house to you and your family. Cheers

Lovely, centrally located and plenty of room
Close to downtown, we were able to walk everywhere and did. The house itself is completely apportioned, with plenty of space for six people (each needing a place to sleep) with plenty of bedding and kitchenware. The house itself was lovely and we had as much fun in it as we did in the pubs and restaurants in Halifax. Very close to the Citadel and we walked over to observe the Remembrance Day ceremonies. This was the perfect place for a bunch of friends' first visit to Halifax, thank you very much to the hosts!

We had an amazing stay at John’s place. The house was a 10 minute walk from everything Halifax has to offer. The house is perfect for large groups and was equipped with everything you could ever need. Next time I’m in Halifax, I wouldn’t think twice about staying here!!!

Perfect home for a little family get together
We stayed in the green house in July and it was the perfect size/location for us. Six adults and four kids aged 3-7. We enjoyed citadel park and went to the harbour most days. There’s a cute little ice cream shop around the corner too! We loved being walking distance to everything! We also enjoyed that we could sit around the dining room comfortably once the kids were in bed for game night! So fantastic. John was helpful and responsive (not that we needed much, the home is loaded!). Will stay here again in a heartbeat the next time we are in town.

Great Place !
This was a great place to stay at. Plenty of room and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were great for my mom as the stairs would have been difficult for her. This place is just a few minutes away from everything and has a dedicated parking in the back. Would stay here again if my travels ever took me back to Halifax.
