This bright basement suite has plenty of space for fun/relaxation, and is just a short hop to the Halifax ferry! I often travel around for work, and lend my apartment out to friends and family when I'm gone. I'm happy to share this spacious apartment with a bright bedroom with twin bunks (not suited for adults), a large kitchen and a cozy living room with a work desk and queen bed. My apartment is fantastic for couples, families and small groups looking to explore Halifax and Nova Scotia! For your convenience, guests will check in using an electronic keypad, but we'll be available if you require anything. We like to give you privacy, while also remaining "on-call" if you need anything. Downtown Dartmouth is quickly growing into one of the most exciting and trendy areas in the region. With hot spots like Two if by Sea coffee shop and the Battery Park craft beer bar just across the street; plus a thriving collection of boutiques, artistic venues and of course no shortage of incredible dining options, just a few blocks away, you may find yourself booking a return trip just to enjoy everything this neighbourhood has to offer (and we'd be happy to welcome you). Rain or shine, you'll quickly discover why this is the best side of the bridge to be on (don't tell Halifax I said that though..)! Exterior Parking (a real asset in Downtown) is included in your stay! Wifi and Streaming services are included in your stay. There is a gated backyard, but this space is not maintained or included in your stay. You are welcome to use it at your own risk, but please be very careful and mindful of neighbours. Please also clean up and remove any garbage etc., that you bring into the space. This is a heritage property that has been restored and updated for modern convenience. The apartment includes a kitchen and a private bathroom. Past the kitchen, you will find a study with a queen bed, TV, seating, bookshelf (with plenty of delightful surprises) and work desk. Off of the study is a large bedroom with open closet storage, a 2nd TV, Playstation 3, seating area and Twin Bunks. This Bedroom also doubles as a fantastic space to relax and have fun with the family, with sliding french doors to offer some quiet and privacy when it's time for the younger members of the family to turn in for the night. Our commitment to an enhanced cleaning protocol means we follow a rigorous sanitizing program in advance of the arrival of each guest. In addition to our commitment prior to your visit, you’ll find cleaning supplies on hand for your use during your stay. You'll be right in the heart of Downtown Dartmouth. You're close to multiple bus routes, a leisurely walk across the park to the main Dartmouth transit terminal and just a 5 minute (relaxed) walk down the street to the ferry! Wifi: Yes Cable: No Live Sports: Yes Live News: Yes Streaming Services: Yes Kitchen: Yes Stairs: Yes (5 Steps Down) Parking: Yes Air conditioning: Yes Washer/dryer: Yes Smoking permitted on site: No Pets: Yes (with pet fee) Barbecue: No Age of home: Built in 1909 Access to this apartment is 5 steps down from the parking lot, behind a gate (which you can park in front of). You will have quiet tenants above you, most guests don't hear them, but it's possible you may hear footsteps during the day (particularly going up and down the stairs). Airbnb guest are covered by the Airbnb damage deposit policy. All other guest will be required to complete a "Truvi" safety verification prior to their stay. If you prefer to avoid the verification you'll need to pay a refundable $350 security deposit which will be returned following your stay. This is similar to the "hold" process that hotels use at check-in. There is a giant monster that lives in the shed out back (I'm kidding, I just wanted to see if you were still reading). ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 private bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Netflix - Smart TV - Streaming services - Video game console - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 623 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36830000/36822800/36822749/ee4af822.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Windmill walk Harbourview - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking included 9.2 Wonderful 220 reviews CA $141 CA $166 total includes taxes & fees Mar 14 - Mar 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=36822749&PinnedHotelID=36822749&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35820000/35810500/35810427/dc112c3e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Fourth Lock Bed & Breakfast Fall River - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.6 Excellent 458 reviews CA $92 CA $109 total includes taxes & fees Mar 25 - Mar 26 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-25&endDate=2026-03-26&selected=35810427&PinnedHotelID=35810427&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/7000000/6620000/6612100/6612005/2f00bb97.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Garden South Park Inn Downtown Halifax - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available - Business services 8.6 Excellent 705 reviews CA $129 CA $151 total includes taxes & fees Mar 17 - Mar 18 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=6612005&PinnedHotelID=6612005&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111550000/111545100/111545018/61ae98ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gertie's Nook: Charming Private Studio Space close to everything!

Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family place for visiting Dartmouth/Halifax (and the rest of Nova Scotia) We spent a week in Nova Scotia with our family (2 adults, 2 kids) and stayed in this basement apartment. It was great! Perfect location in Dartmouth (across the street from a great bakery and minutes walk to the waterfront), it was clean, and had all the necessities (kitchen, washer/dryer, separate room for the kids, 2 TVs, etc). There was an A/C unit and air purifiers as well as a bonus. There was a secure entrance and the check in and check out process was easy. Dartmouth is just a hop, skip and a jump from Halifax! Highly recommend this place to any family, couple or business person travelling and visiting the area. ##### Lisanne G.
