Norms Near US Embassy

We liked that the place was in a quiet community, very close to where we needed to go. Transportation to Bridgetown was a breeze once we got to the main road.

The place was quite a distance from the main road. Which made it somewhat difficult to get to with bags, but on the otherhand, getting a taxi to get us to our destination was not difficult, and pretty reasonable. The pillows though were a bit too flat. All in all: I will do it again.

Great host, beautiful view.

Nothing.

The convenience of an automatic lock. The room and its decor were nice. The AC worked well.

The location was a bit difficult for certain taxis to find. The sheet was a bit too thin.

The location was close to the attractions. Good WiFi

My overall experience was disappointing, and there were several issues that I feel should be addressed. The directions provided on Google Maps were inaccurate, which made the apartment somewhat difficult to locate. Upon arrival, my first impression was that the apartment had a strong musty smell, and there were mosquitoes inside. I brought this to the owner’s attention and was told that it would be taken care of, but unfortunately, no one came to address the issue. The booking was made for 3 persons for 8 days, but there was only 1 towel provided and no linens for the sofa bed. The host did drop off the additional towel and linens within an hour, which was appreciated, but these basic necessities should have been available from the start. The kitchen was another concern. There were food flies present, which I initially assumed may have been left over from the previous guests, but the cleaning person did not address it prior our arrival. As a result, we were unable to comfortably leave any food or items on the kitchen counter. We also killed 2 roaches. The kitchen also lacked basic utensils, which was particularly disappointing since we had planned to cook during our stay.We had to buy stuff to eat with. The sofa bed was in very poor condition and was both uncomfortable and dirty. The bathroom was also quite small and outdated, with no proper ventilation. Although there was a window, it was located directly beside the stairs, so it could not realistically be opened without compromising privacy. For a stay of 8 days and 3 persons, only 1 roll of toilet paper was provided, which was clearly insufficient. While the host was responsive in some instances, overall, I expected the apartment to be cleaner, better equipped, and properly prepared for the number of guests and length of stay. There were simply too many basic issues that affected our comfort and overall experience.
