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.

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.

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.
