The location is just perfect and The hosts were lovely

“Charming but Needs Attention”

I stayed at the “Charming Old World Apartment” while in Barbados for meetings, and the location is definitely one of its strongest points—very convenient and well-situated. The apartment has a distinctive bohemian style with a slightly decadent, artistic touch that gives it character and a certain vintage charm. It’s clear the space has potential, and with some care, it could be truly special. As mentioned in the listing, there is no air conditioning, but the mosquito net works well and makes sleeping manageable. The apartment itself appears to have once been a balcony that was converted into a living space decades ago, which adds to its uniqueness but also explains some of the structural limitations. The owner is kind and friendly in person.

“Very nice host.”

Good location and very nice host

“Lovely apartment”

Lovely apartment, the host was really nice, the location was great, close to the sea and mini bus stops. The room had everything we needed, it was cozy and clean,, there is no AC (that was listed in advance), however during the night the temperature was pleasant. Would stay again.

Loved the location for me as a surfer as it was very close to Drill Halls Beach/Brandon's surf spot (10min walk, 15min walk with a surfboard). Also right beside the Dread or Dead Surf Shop / Surf School. The accommodations is also right along the roads where public transportation is easily accessible. Place is only 20-30mins walk away from Pebble's Beach, 10mins from the Garrison, and 3mins walk from that oceanside boardwalk. Of course, everything can be taken by the public bus/van for only 3.50BBD for even shorter. The property owner is also really nice and friendly including their cat. The cat is super cuddly and affectionate. There is a shared kitchen to cook your own food also if you're on a budget and a nice balcony to eat your meals.

“A place to enjoy and go back!”

Beautiful property offering a antique enchantment. Location is A+

“Not what I expected”

Not a lot it was supposed to be a one bedroom apartment but it was actually a small bedroom with a bathroom and the owner lived there also I had a quarter of a shelf in the fridge

Loved to stay in a historical building, lot of history, is a very fresh room, very calm quiet and the best part is the location. Safe are and very close of everything.

Nice room, very near to the beach. Very nice charming staff. Simple but clean. Very charming. The owner is super nice and let us stay longer for our check out. She was very helpful and kind. If you check in after 18 o’clock make sure to call before or let the taxi driver call.

“A very good host”

Relaxed environment

“Lovely homely place to stay for a few days”

Good location, lots of nice restaurants nearby. Easy bus ride into the town centre. Lovely verandah for sitting and bird watching. The room was lovely and quiet. I enjoyed the birds and insects at night. Kristen was helpful and not intrusive at all.

“Nice”

I liked the fact that the accommodation was close to all amenities (shopping centre, restaurants, beach etc...), the bus passes right in front. I like a hard bed and this was the case so I slept very well.

“OK for 1 night”

Location

“Nice stay in charming apartment close to beach”

Very charming apartment, I felt really comfortable there and the fact that it's so open to the outside, getting the fresh air and the plants right there makes it so peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place! Kristine was very nice and helpful.

It is exactly what the name implies. It's not a new building with modern facilities but rather a 300 year old military hospital converted to an airbnb..it is comfortable and homely . The grounds of the property are very huge .no pool, but you have a nice jogging path and might catch a glimpse of the dogs chasing a family of monkeys. The monkeys are very good at teasing the dogs.. Sometimes it's good to experience a different view and live among the locals.and sometimes you go for luxury and comfort. Everything has a price. I was satisfied with the hospitality and comfort, and it served my purpose as I could go in every direction and find something to do. It was also not far from the venue that my meeting was being held.

Christine, the owner, was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location and surroundings were exceptional and paradise like. Especially the garden view of the bedroom was like a dream.

“A really charming stay”

The location. Is well connected to B'town, the airport, and has a close beach access. Kristine is a warm host and cares to provide a nice place to rest well. Apartment atmosphere is well described by its name.

On a very bad day personally, Kristine went out of her way to help me. Thank you for your help.

I liked the rustic charm, it was peaceful and had a sense of calm.if you like authentic and dont like sterile identical hotel rooms then this is for you. No Aircon but the open slats on the windows allowed a breeze from the east to cool the room and the mosquito net did its job perfectly. The host was very pleasant and helpful, there were many books and magazines about Barbados for guests to peruse and a large comfy sitting room. A short walk to the beach and likewise 2 of the popular museums were within a 15min walk. The local buses were available less than a minute from the property.

“Peaceful stay in a wonderful apartment”

Very interesting history about the house, and lovely surroundings. The host Kristine is very kind and helpful, and she creates a nice atmosphere.
