A clean safe comfortable room just right for your stay. Large patio with a lovely view. Hostess speaks French. Quiet neighbourhood. Near shops. On bus route. Near to the University of the West Indies, Belair Research Institute, Kensington Oval and the US Embassy. Perfect for ladies traveling alone. Not suitable for young children. No same day reservations... 24 hours advance notice please. The space Nestled atop one of the coral stone ridges of Barbados, the house overlooks the city and the harbor with breathtaking views of the large cruise ships and surrounding areas. Large patio ideal for studying, working or just relaxing and enjoying the cool Caribbean breezes or a beautiful sunset. Serenity awaits you. If you're lucky you will see Brazen Monkey and his troop crossing the back garden wall early mornings and late evenings. Private room with ensuite, fridge, microwave and tv. Ceiling fan. Ten minutes from the city and the US Embassy and five minutes from the University of the West Indies and the Belair Research Institute.
