Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### African R. 20 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday trip Where do I start - this apartment is A .I was welcomed with a card & birthday cupcakes from the host which was absolutely sweet The apartment is super spacious & clean.It has everything you would need in a home.It really has that “home from home” feel.The apartment is literally across the road from the beach, Tje bus stops to take you to Holetown & Bridgetown are within walking distance.There is a gas station is right next to the bus stops if you ever run out of something you can get it from there.There is a local supermarket called Jordan’s which is reasonably priced if you wanted to do a bit food shopping.If you want Waitrose & Heinz products then there is Massey’s in Holetown.Both supermarkets are 5mins bus ride from the apartment.The apartment is located off a slip road which leads to other houses & Amelia sits at the back.Its very peaceful & enclosed from the main road.There are benches outside in front of the apartment where you can have breakfast etc & watch the roosters & hens go about their day.We was lucky to spot 2 monkeys & the local mongrel who struts past wagging his tail.The host Andrea was very nice & very quick with responses to any queries I had.I would percent recommend this place.The only thing I would advise to anyone that does book Amelia Apartments is to pls DO NOT take up anything & take it back with you..items such as umbrellas & torches etc.The host leaves it there just in case it’s required.I am already planning my next trip ##### African R.
