Great Stay in Loft Apartment

Reviewed May 19, 2019
I stayed here for 10 days of bliss and relaxation. I unexpectedly had a whole loft apartment to myself, which was amazing. Not far from Jolly Beach and the downtown market, about 20 minutes in opposite directions which you can get to via "bus" (really a passenger van). They don't provide breakfast but why would you need that in an apartment-style hotel? Room was cleaned daily and the staff was very pleasant. I enjoyed being able to cook to save money and had cereal for breakfast. Very budget-friendly. Only downside was the ants. They were usually in the kitchen downstairs, which didn't bother me as much. I only stayed downstairs to cook. But when they came upstairs one day and invaded the shower, I had to delay my plans and wait for them to leave.

Also, had a mix-up the first night which scared me. I was alone and I thought someone was breaking in. Turns out the owner's son didn't know the room was booked and was showing it to another customer, but it was resolved quickly. One day the wifi didn't work because of a storm so that was disappointing. I just watched TV all day intead, which was fine by me.

The property is situated approx half way between St Johns and Jolly Harbour and both are easily reachable by bus or, of course, if you have your own transport. For a reasonable sum of money I was given an apartment over two floors with a kitchen/ dining area downstairs and a bedroom above. It is clean and adequately furnished. As mentioned in other reviews the owner is both friendly and helpful and enhances the stay.

The only issue of significance was a lack of water with the pressure poor. I understand this is currently an issue on high ground throughout the country.

I arrived in the afternoon and was welcomed by Annette, the owner, whom I loved straight away. She makes people feeling like they are old friend and always welcomed.
That same evening (I had been travelling since early morning) I had to fight a bit to have water in the bathroom, but Annette sent someone to fixed the pump and eventually I was able to have my yearned shower (it was a problem with the water pump, but Annette told me that anyway the entire island had a lack of water due to the scarce rains). The crockery and tools in the kitchen were very basic, so I decided not to eat in my room, but to have only breakfast. Regarding to my neighbours, they were a bit noisy (especially early in the morning). I liked the place itself, but I am not a picky person nor demanding, therefore the permanence was very agreable to me and I feel like recommending Annette's place for sure!

We were very disappointed in the standard of the accommodation. The apartment of 2 bedrooms was lovely and roomy but very shabby and not well appointed. The bed was comfortable but only one bedside table and light. Microwave broken and very few utensils.
We were there for 5 nights and on three of these days we could only get a dribble of water from taps or shower - not good when you come back from the beach salty and sandy! Annette the owner agreed with us she needed a bigger water tank to remedy the problem and said she was actively looking in to this.
Annette did try to get us all she could to make the stay more bareable ie coffee maker, kettle and gas for the cooker! We should have had breakfast included but Annette said she had told the travel company this wasn’t possible any longer - so if you book definitely don’t pay for breakfast as it is not available! We paid a high price for this accommodation as the cricket was on - it maybe worth it for you if you want very budget accommodation - I notice price is less than half what we paid on some websites now.

Love the space in the apartment. The owner is very friendly and was willing to pick me up at the airport and take me to a grocery store.
Arrangement was also made to take me back to the airport. The driver was on time and very friendly.

Very large rooms, with kitchen facilities, so a good option if you're doing things on the cheap.

I like reading, so was a bit frustrated that, though very friendly, they weren't able to supply a reading lamp.

I guess I was just unlucky, but the bar next door (also part of the family business) held a "Facebook Party" one night when I was there. That meant LOUD music till about 2 a.m. - not what I needed when I was suffering from sunstroke after a trip to Barbuda. I went over a couple of times to plead with them to turn it down, and found there was not a single customer. Check whether they're still doing this before you book.

Room tip: NOT facing the bar!!!
