We very much enjoyed our stay in Lillian and Grayson's townhouse. They greeted us upon arrival and gave us a quick tour around their beautiful home, provided us with brochures of things to do in the area and contact information if needed, before heading off on their own adventure. The view of the basin from their balcony is beautiful. The walking paths beside the water are lovely and we enjoyed strolling along them both morning and evening. We were able to walk a short distance to a bus stop and ride into downtown Halifax to see the sights. We would highly recommend an exchange with Lillian and Grayson. -
We very much enjoyed meeting Lillian and Grayson. They warmly welcomed us and kindly took the time to explain things and the area to us. Their home was lovely. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It has a beautiful waterfront location with a playground and walking path right in front of the building. A big shopping area with a grocery store is next to the community. Driving to downtown Halifax was easy. We loved our time in Halifax and highly recommend the hosts and their home. -
We absolutely loved staying at Lillian and Grayson’s beautiful condo. They welcomed us and got us well acquainted with the home. The location is perfect- just across the street from the waterfront and park. My son really enjoyed the playground. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the night light in our son’s room, candies in a bowl and brochures on Halifax. Thank you Grayson and Lillian! We are so glad we met you!
