This Airbnb was absolutely wonderful, just as listed if not more. It has absolutely everything you needed and more, it was clean, perfect size, great parking, close to everything. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area. Adela was also super responsive if you were to need anything at all (of course I didn’t as everything was perfect) but always checking in and making sure I didn’t need anything! Perfect stay.

Adela was a warm and thoughtful host. Her place was very tidy & cozy. She also goes above and beyond for her guests, leaving treats & a lovely card welcoming you to her place and the area. Overall 10/10 experience and would definitely choose to stay here again!

This Airbnb was great! The place was very clean and cozy, and it had everything we needed for our stay. The host also thought of little extras in case you forgot anything, which was such a nice touch. There were even snacks waiting for us when we arrived! It really made the place feel welcoming and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

This place was perfect for the two of us - very comfortable! We walked downtown a few times and it was a 20 min walk but definitely doable! We love Antigonish.

The location is within a twenty minute walk to the event I attended at St. FX. A brisk walk was a great way to start my day! My wife and I really enjoyed the treats and the tea/coffee selection is fantastic. The binder with clear instructions, local places to eat and things to do is a welcome added touch.
