It was like being a local. Great location, not a resort experience and that's what made it so much fun. Very walkable. We like to get the real flavor of the places we travel to and this did not disappoint. By the time we left we felt like neighbors not tourists.

Unexplained

Not at all what we we're expecting, in a bad part of St Thomas, not a lock on the door for security except for a keypad lock that other people had a code for.. Not recommend

Very clean and cute little place, great value for the money. Walking distance to the harbor area restaurants and stores. My only complaints are about the lack of transportation/infrastructure and sort of general noise/nonsense in the surrounding neighborhood if people aren't prepared for that. All of the locals turned out to be cool but at first glance reminded me of Welcome to Jamrock

We had a great stay. The property is exactly as described.It's right in downtown and even though there is no parking, it's easy to find on the streets. The hosts were very friendly, and, as they live nearby, they are available for any questions and recommendations one may have.
