The apartment was clean and had all the amenities I was looking for. I was close to the US Embassy, which was my purpose of travel. I even checked out the Bob Marley Museum tour and the local Mall. The area felt safe.

I made arrangements to stay at this property through Expedia. When I arrive the temperature in the apartment was over 90° even though it was advertised as completely air condition. Only the bedroom had an AC which was woefully in adequate to cool the bedroom and the living room. After 45 minutes of being in the residence I decided that I could not stay as the heat was unbearable. Even though I had made payment through Expedia I was further required to put down a deposit ,and cleaning fees which I did. A Further request was made of me to photocopy my US drivers license which I was uncomfortable with but I complied trying to be as cooperating as possible. Told the representative that I would not be staying so I would like my deposit to be refunded. They refuse to refund my complete deposit even though I had not utilize any aspect of the facility as I had only been there for about 45 minutes not even the restroom I had used. I sought and obtain accommodation at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel for the duration of my trip. I consider the behavior of the owners of this property as disingenuous and criminal. I Contacted American Express and dispute the charges. The conduct of those involved in renting this property reminds me of the infamous pirate Henry Morgan.

Bed was very comfortable but the pillows were a little high for me but different strokes for different folks so we requested softer ones ad was given them on Monday, a day later. The manager apologize and explained that the stores were closed at 3pm on Sunday. There is a lot of truth to that but it could have been communicated more promptly which would have made the stay perfect dispute the pillow.

A bit exceptional

This place is lovely and a serious bargain. It was one of the few places that is better than the pictures.The staff are extraordinary!! Nothing was too much trouble. They were so helpful and kind. We highly recommend this place. One word of caution. It is in a rather good area and almost because of this exercise extreme caution walking anywhere at night.

Happy Camper Cold AC, WiFi, Hot Water, Good Price

Very comfortable and spacious apartment. My two bedroom NYC apartment could fit in this apartment twice. I really like the fact that they did not over furnish this space. The space is very comfortable. During the days I just open up and enjoy the island vibe. I am into decoration and the apartment have a bit of things going for it, extremely high ceiling, open rafters etc. I actually could see the mall through the kitchen window so I walked to the mall and walked around daily just to get my 30k steps. I will definitely book this one again.

I made the reservation in order to attend a funeral and with all of the other activities, I did not call them 72h in advance. It is strongly advised that you do so. Upon arrival I was told that the property I had originally reserved did not have running water and was offered a similar property that did have water - which I accepted. This new property was similarly appointed as the original but was significantly smaller (though still a 1 bedroom). It was clean, and had a large King sized bed. The kitchen and its contents were also in very good shape. Access to the property is restricted by both a remote controlled gate and locked access to the building so we felt safe while there. The one thing to be aware of is that there is an additional "hotel fee" that includes a daily charge for cleaning note: the apartment is not cleaned every day) that must be paid, in cash, upon arrival. Overall, our stay went well.

I loved everything about this property! What is advertised is exactly what you get. It’s clean, very spacious, and safe! Very close to amenities. I would highly recommend this place and come back here when I visit again! The check in and out was very easy and the Property Managers I met were very flexible and helpful. I arrived on my own before my second guest, and the Property Manager checked in on me to make sure I felt comfortable and safe. The only thing to improve is the bathroom sink, which just needs a bit of de-clogging. Otherwise, this place was perfect!
