    Sheldon was there to meet me on arrival and insisting on carrying my bag for me. When he opened the door, I was so happy to see a clean, well furnished and comfortable studio with everything I needed. He was so helpful with local information and contacts. I loved staying here and wish I could have had a few more days. The bed was super comfortable.

    Absolutely nothing. I have no recommendations to offer. Though, if I were to add something, it would read: I DIDN'T LIKE LEAVING.

    I loved the very warm welcome from the host and his team. I loved the check-in throughout my stay to query if I was comfortable. I must emphasise on how wonderful I experienced Sheldon to be -it was as if nothing was beyond his reach, to help ensure my happiness while staying at the apartment. I loved the apartment. I stayed in unit 9, and the decor was in a league of its own, and every utensil imaginable was there (from home to home). The cleanliness of the apartment was so inviting. Miss Holeness does a wonderful job - a true asset to the team. I highly recommend this apartment and I intend to return, to re-live the experience. Thank you Sheldon and Miss Holeness, I truly had a wonderful time. See you soon God willing!

    My only criticism of the property, would be the bed was slightly harder than I would prefer and the pillows could’ve been a bit firmer. There was also a smell coming from I think the vents or the microwave, not quite sure but it constantly smell a little bit like spaghetti bologenaise. This could’ve just been from perhaps the previous person who stayed. However, this smell was quite mild and did not make a massive impact on the overall stay.

    First of all, I just want to give a massive shout out to my host Sheldon, who always had clear communication, met us promptly at the accommodation for check in and was on hands to answer all of our questions. He is probably one of the most friendly hosts I have ever met. The actual property itself is cute and cozy, and just like the pictures that are online. It was in a good area and we was there for the Vybz Kartel concert, in which we were able to reach the National Stadium within 10 minutes driving. It was also close to my favourite Devon‘s house and also round the corner from the Bob Marley Museum. The apartment came with the cutest little hamper snacks, multiple towels for us to use and all facilities work clean and in great working condition. The space is not the biggest, but it is perfect for two adults as I shared with my sister and it wasn’t feeling too cramped.

    There's not much to dislike but if I was nitpicking I would say the traffic in Kingston was really bad but nothing about the location but the traffic was expected I guess.

    The staff was amazing. Mr Sheldon was really helpful.

    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.
