I liked the location. The apartment however was under construction..The kitchen and bathroom cupboards stored paint and other chemical supplies..The closets stored barrels, the doors are all dirty. The bathroom odor is worse than any septic. It scent disturbs your rest especially at night.. The shower curtain is mouldy.. There is no washing facility in the apartment, there is filthy dark hole on the ground floor for tenants to pay JA$400 to wash and JA$400 to spin your clothes because they are far from dry.. The apartment needs much work to be done.. It is hazardous and unsafe .

I like the location of the property, it was surrounding by hot spots and amenities. This is my 2nd time staying at this property and i like it. The care taker Mr. Hall was wonderful. The only thing I did not like was the contact information provided on Expedia was incorrect. Which ended up causing some communication issues.
