There were shops in the area which was convenient. The parking was across a very busy street and very unsafe. The noise from that busy road woke us up at 6:30 in the morning. The room was well equipped but the couch was sunken in and extremely uncomfortable to sit on.The front porch was is bad shape and there were garbage bags out doors when we got there. The host was very accommodating and communication with her was excellent. I would recommend her as a host but I cannot recommend this location.

Snug

Property walking distance to grocery store and downtown. Sits on a fairly busy street. The accommodations were tight. We had 4 people. 2 of the beds are in the front room so no couch( sitting area). The one very small room had rickety bunk beds that squeaked with every turn. We had difficulty opening and closing the door due to lack of space and there was very limited space to move around. Basically a closet with a window- no exaggeration. I’d say this in a fine property for 2-3 people at most. It’s basic but it has everything you need in a very convenient, albeit slightly noisy location.

Clean but cluttered

I stayed with my son. So 2 adults. The place was clean and the landlady nice. The apt. was very small and cluttered mostly because of the size of the apt. There was 2 beds in the living room as soon as you walk in. The apt is approx 10 feet wide and 18 feet long with a bedroom 5 x 8 with a bunkbed that only had a foot beteen the wall and the bed. Good for a night maybe 2. the apt

Just lovely

Great central location in Pictou county, and specifically, New Glasgow. I was able to walk to restaurants, downtown, groceries, parks. And very quick (<10 minutes) drive to theatres, malls, and Stellarton, Westville, and about 20 minutes to the town of Pictou. The unit itself was very cozy, clean and has all the little things you need to stay comfortably away from home (kitchen utensils, appliances, towels, shampoo, Wifi , etc.) Michelle is a diligent renter, attention to detail is obvious, as the unit is very tidy, check-in/check-out is seamless, and has information on everything a tourist to the area would need to know about the area. Overall very happy with my stay, and I would definitely return to this unit if I came back to visit again. Thanks Michelle!

Nice little place

The home was easy to find and the host was responsive and helpful. Parking was fine. All areas inside were clean and neat. The wifi worked just fine and the beds were comfy. Because two of us snore and the third can't tolerate snoring, it was quite helpful that the two sleeping areas are at different ends of the space with a door that can be closed between. Easy walking distance to several nice restaurants. Many positives. The only thing that is not ideal is the space is small and crowded. The front door only opens partially because the queen bed is in the way. We each stubbed our toes on the trundle bed wheels as we walked between it and the little dining table. We each had one medium-size bag and ended up using the twin bed above the trundle to store them on; there were two luggage racks stored in the bathroom, but the only possible place to use them is in the middle of the kitchen or in front of the bathroom door. The small space was workable for us three, but I can't imagine that six people could stay in the space as is stated. Probably it would work out better to remove the twin/trundle bed from the front area where the other bed and kitchen/dining area are and just say the space is meant for not more than four.
