Two bedrooms and large office beside Halifax Citadel

This flat has two bedrooms with queen size beds and a large office with a near queen size pull-out sofa bed. It is located on the second floor of a three-level house built in 1857, just 15 mins walk to the Halifax Waterfront. Located in a heritage area, two blocks from Citadel Hill and Halifax Commons. A diverse, artistic and friendly urban residential neighbourhood in the center of Halifax. The apartment is very warm and bright features high quality queen sized mattresses in each bedroom, well equipped kitchen and deck with BBQ. Kitchen basics provided.

The three story wooden house was built in 1857 in the first "suburb" of Halifax, just beside the reason for Halifax's existence, the Halifax Citadel. The apartment covers the whole second floor. The living room and kitchen are open concept with large windows and a deck off the living room. Each bedroom features a high quality queen size mattress. The kitchen is well equipped with basics of coffee and tea provided. We don't have cable TV but we provide access to Netflix on the large screen in the living room and Wifi. We provide towels, soap and shampoo.

Front door entry is shared with the two other floors (first and third). There are quite a few steps leading up to the second floor entrance. The second floor is exclusively for the guests use.

I live in the apartment below this apartment and I am more than happy to answer questions and provide my guests with information about what makes Halifax and the Maritime Provinces a fun and rewarding place to visit. At the same time, I tend to give my guests their privacy, but count on me to answer any questions you have quickly and effectively.

This is a heritage controlled neighbourhood in the trendy North End, which has many fitness resources (outdoor roller/ice skating oval, skateboard park, tennis courts and outdoor swimming pool on the Halifax Commons, Olympic size swimming pool at the Citadel Pool and bouldering cafe on Gottingen). For ideas of what to during your visit The Coast is an online and free news paper with lots of details and suggestions about what is happening in Halifax. There are several good restaurants and pubs, craft breweries, an artisanal delicatessen, very good bakery and many artist run gallery's and shops within walking distance. And nothing in downtown Halifax is more then a comfortable walk away (with keeping in mind we are on a hill) so the list of things to do includes ocean kayaking, Sea Doo and deep sea fishing, whale watching and and many varieties of sailing cruises on the Halifax Waterfront including the amphibious Halifax Hopper cruise and road tour, theatre, live music, pubbing and clubbing in the downtown and lots of shops and restaurants catering to a wide range of interests and tastes.

The train/bus station is a 25 minute walk away but there are several city bus lines passing on Gottingen Street (a couple minutes walk away) and the airport bus stops at nearby hotels (~10 minute walk). Casino Taxi and Yellow Cab are usually very quick to pick you up from the house to get where you need to go. We are located 40 mins from the airport.

We do not provide parking and the on-street parking in the neighbourhood is controlled and rather strictly enforced. You can obtain a visitors permit for city wide street parking here - https://hrm.aimsparking.com/ The website Parkopedia has information on availablity and cost of parking lots in the area - https://en.parkopedia.ca/parking/locations/falkland_street_halifax_nova_scotia_b3k_3r4_canada_1aj2dxfy10e1txndgi
