    No balcony to sit outside but the comfort inside made it up.

    Location, location, location! Was just perfect for us. The place looks nicer than the photos. The location is a stone throw from most attractions, safe and quite.

    It would have been nice to relax by the pool, but, no biggy.

    This property was very homely for my quick trip to Jamaica, with great ambiance . I love the easy access to pertinent places that I needed to be. I also loved how friendly everyone was. My booking was a last-minute decision, and I was very impressed by the host. He was able to assist me in finding the perfect hideaway. I would definitely stay at " Choose to be happy" anytime I am on the island.

    Nothing, all was a great experience! If something wants to be improved, it could be the outside area of the appartements... but not sure if guests in Kingston really need a pool area 🤷‍♀️

    Sheldon was very friendly and helpful with everything - thanks a lot! The area is safe and with Uber everything is easy to reach. The room seems to be very new and fully equiped - I felt very comfortable there!

    I did not like the fact that I had to walk up a long flight of stairs with luggage but I was offered the 1st floor apartment but I had a preference to the 2bd floor apartment and assistance was given by the host. I would have like some tea bags and coffee satches with sugar for tea but plenty snacks was provided and hot chocolate sachets. These are not complaints as I think the host offered a great service and value for money.

    Loved absolutely everything of the style of the apartment. Host was very accommodating as I required early check in. He was very professional with a very welcoming approach. Ensured the relevant information was shared for me to be comfortable. Also shared useful information about the local area and facilities. Shower was amazing.

    The location wasn't what I expected however I tried not to allow that to bother me as the apartment was exactly as described and what was needed for my 2 night stay.

    Sheldon, our host was great, very helpful! The A/C was appreciated! Overall, the whole room was very comfortable and well put together. I was able to relax and not worry about security, my only want was to have had a larger balcony however, all in all, no real complaints.

    Perfect stay! The studio was spotless clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is great (near Sovereign mall, Devon House ice cream, and Chilitos dinner). We felt safe in that area. The host was very friendly, kindly accommodated our last minute booking (Thanks James!), and was very helpful with sharing tips and things to do in the area. Internet was fast and AC worked well. Highly recommend this place!

    The apartment was on the small side. While it was comfortable, it might have been nice to have a small table next to the sofa to put one's cup or plate. The balcony was too small for a chair, so I had to sit inside. That said, the price was right, and there were a lot of other great things about it, so it was fine and I would definitely recommend.

    The location was great - safe and centrally located, walkable to grocery stores, close to New Kingston business district. During rush hour, traffic in the neighbourhood was heavy but still moving. Taxis had no trouble finding the place. It was quiet and calm. The pool was clean and huge, perfect for swimming laps. The garden view from the room was lovely, and the enormous mango tree outside the window kept the sun out and the apartment cool. With the fan going, there was no need for AC. The apartment was a studio, so not very big, but it was fine for one person. The kitchen was well equipped. On the first day I noted there was no coffee machine and asked the host about it. Within hours he had brought me a new coffee machine - I was so impressed with the responsiveness! The wifi was super. And I loved the decor - vibrant colours, beautiful art by a well-known local artist. It made me feel like I was at home.

    The pool could do with a new coat of paint but it's clean and big and wonderful for swimming.

    Great location, perfectly equipped kitchen and bathroom, comfortable bed and sofa, excellent lighting, wonderful pool. Sheldon was very helpful. I got a complimentary cleaning after one week which was great. And I was happy about the laundry facilities.
