Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

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.

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.

Great value. My family of four had plenty of space. Much better than a cramped hotel room and much less expensive. Everything was clean. would definitely stay again when in Halifax.
