Die Idee die Unterkunft im Sommer die Studentenappartments zu vermieten ist genial. Am Stadtrand gelegen, in der Früh waren Rehe am Parkplatz. Sehr einfach aber zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Check - in bis 22 Uhr besetzt. Großer Kühlschrank und Wohnküche.

Nice place to stay and good for big family to have one unit.
Cici, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the cost, this is an excellent option for staying in Halifax. It was clean, secure, and inexpensive. Bathrooms are shared, though the room did have its own sink. No frills, and very basic. Room was a little warm, but a fan was provided. About a ten minute drive from downtown. Would absolutely recommend.

Really clean! We stayed at this property in August and the price was right. The check in was easy and the room was very basic but very clean. There was no air conditioning but the fans kept things nice and cool. The gym was awesome, within walking distance, and free. It was a 5 minute walk to the school dining with had a great breakfast.
susan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The price & layout of the apartment was good & the location/parking convenient. There are some low cost upgrades that would make it better for tourists. The faucet we used needs new washer to stop leaking, wasting water. Dish supplies were good but a couple dish towels would be helpful for cleanup. Printed directions for the TV would help. It's great as a college dorm, but could be made nicer for tourists.
Nadine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very good place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We had a 4 bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms. It was very spacious . For us the only flaw was that we found the mattresses to be uncomfortable. We knew ,in advance, that there was no air conditioning,so we brought two fans. We were pleased to see that they also provided fans.

Easy access.....lovely view with pond!
Duane, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. We live 3 hours from the airport and got in late, and this was our only option without spending $400 + for some sleep. Gross - Mold, dirty and not even a mattress protector on the beds. I put it as 5-star so it goes to top and someone might read it. My husband slept in the car - this should speak volumes. Dirty, counters not even wiped - black mold in the fans. I feel so bad for the students going to live here. I slept on top of the bed and barely slept.
LESA, 1-night trip

I always bring an extra pillow for added coziness.

Quiet, peaceful place, everything you need is available.
Tetiana, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved having a room each for a couple nights as we travel from Toronto to East coast. This was an easy place for the 5 of us . Free laundry was a bonus and we appreciated the facilities abailable and full kitchen. They provided some basic dishes. Towels and soap are available as well. Everything was basic , but worked well for our needs.
Chantale, 2-night trip

Great place to stay when you just need somewhere to rest for a night
Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Just like home, excellent staff, service, impeccably clean, excellent security, quiet, kitchenette down the hall with microwave, kettle to boil water for coffee(bring your own instant coffee). I bring my own cozy extra pillows and then its just like home! Wish they were open for non students to stay year round, but greatful i can stag there and a very fair and greatly appreciated rate. Wonderful to be able to visit the City and stay over! Thank you so much!
