This is our third stay at this beautiful apartment in New Kingston, and this time we stayed even longer.As mentioned in my previous review in 2023, the apartment is gated, secure, and centrally located, just a stone’s throw from many attractions, great food spots, and entertainment options. The check-in process was seamless, with clear and accurate instructions.Communication with the host, Mikhail, was excellent as always. He was prompt and responsive to every query. It was a pleasure to finally meet him in person. He is truly a wonderful human.The apartment itself remains spotless, cosy, and exactly as pictured. The thoughtful touches such as snacks, juices, water, teas, and more really enhance the experience. It’s also great to see how Mikhail continues to improve the space based on guest feedback. More amenities have been added, such as the water dispenser, which we really appreciated. It shows how much he cares about continuously improving the guest experience.During our stay, there was an island-wide power outage lasting around 8 hours. Mikhail went above and beyond, proactively reaching out, and even driving over in the dark to ensure we had light, which we truly appreciated. That level of care and dedication is truly exceptional.As long as this apartment is available, it will always be our go-to place whenever we visit Kingston.

I had an awesome stay at this place 2 bedroom apartment one room had double beds which was great, it’s located near all professionals activities in the heart of New Kingston! you’re 15 minutes to crossroads, 20 -25 minutes to the national stadium, halfway tree, Garden House etc:The area is safe and quiet.The place was clean updated with amenities, stove, refrigerator, living area, dining area,the beds was very comfortable and inviting, you have to have access to get in a gate man is there to assist you if needed I was surprised with all the welcome goodies and refreshments store in the refrigerator free for us.The host Mr Mikhail was pleasant and easy to communicate with he made sure if I needed anything he would provide it in a timely manner.My only issue is there was some construction work on the site during the day which was a little annoying I wish that would’ve noted in the add when booking!But apart from that I would recommend this place to anyone, and will book this place again.Thanks Mr Mikhail Francis for having us i really appreciate.

Niki

From start to end I give this stat a 5 star rating. Host dealt with a small issue promptly with no issue. Upon entering apartment I was amazed at the level of decor and comfort. Perfect size for myself but I would say at least 3 people could stay there comfortably. I’ve stayed in many apartments over the years all over the island and this apartment tops them by far.

Conveniently located, clean and well maintained.

All the reviews we read before choosing this VRBO were spot on. There were no surprises We enjoyed our relaxing evenings in this property and felt safe. The only tip to share with other travellers with GPS - the direction was off . Upon our late night arrival, we were led to a different location on Haining. We contacted Mikhail after midnight and he responded immediately with directions . Follow the one provided by Mikhail

Stay Awhile is Home away from home

The condo is very spacious, clean, warm and welcoming. When we entered, there was classical music playing for us (of which my family are classical music listeners). In addition, the personal touches that were prepared for us were very thoughtful. Communication with our host was a breeze. The security guards were warm and friendly and on point in identifying who goes in and out. Lastly, the kindness of the host towards my family will never be forgotten. Stay Awhile is the place to stay if you are looking for a relax, clean, modern, warm, and friendly atmosphere. Thank you Mikhail From: The Duhaneys

Wonderful experience

I appreciate how comfortable I was in this Air bnb. I was in Jamaica for a family event with my twin girls so I was worried about a few things, including safety's since my husband wasn’t going to be with us. My host was swift with his responses and reassuring. We got to the air bnb and were greeted with a very clean and welcoming space. I had to call my host because teenagers need WiFi and I couldn’t remember the WiFi info, and again I had swift response. My overall stay was very pleasant. I would definitely “stay a while” at the same location next time I visit Jamaica.

Certainly A Gem!

The host Mikhail was very attentive, professional and respectful. The studio unit interior was just simply immaculate and welcoming. This place was just superb. I cannot think of anymore adjectives that would describe the beauty of the interior. The host Mikhail did an amazing job when putting together this studio unit. Now, to all the prospective vistors, please, treat and take care of this unit as if it were your own when staying there, because it is most certainly a gem. Cordially, Durant

All rooms were very clean and comfortable. They even left water and snacks on arrival. Location was closed to everything. A few drinking glasses/wine glasses would make it much better. However, this place deserves 10/10
