“Excellent stay and host”
Met at airport by the very charismatic Sam who then showed me a impromptu tour of the capital and out to the tourist areas. Very convenient for buses to the pristine, albeit busy, tourist beaches and to the local bars and restaurants. Apartment had great communal area with delicious coffee!

“Great host”
The host is amazing! At the airport I realised that I forgot my jacket in the apartment. My flight was in one hour, so it was already too late for me to return. Luckily the host was so kind and willing to help, that he with his private car brought the jacket to me to the airport.

“Best place to stay in Aruba, and the best host I have ever met”
The place was awesome. We arrived at noon, and the reception was just great. They even let us into the room earlier than expected. The time it took to get us from the airport to the stay was just great. Samuel and Laura are the best hosts there are. He rented his car for us, upgraded our room for free, took some drinks with us, and gave us a lot of recommendations for activities. If you come to Aruba, THIS is the place to stay.

“It was a good stay!”
I liked a lot the host hospitality! Samuel is a great host. He picked us up at the airport, drove us around to show the city and took us to the airport at the end of the trip.

I booked an apartment for me and my son, on arrival we were shown to a double room, our apartment had been allocated to another group. Samuel resolved this the next day, visiting and subsequently booking alternative accommodation and dropping us there. The property is close to the bus station. I was not there long enough to comment on facilities. The ratings I have given reflect that we did not get what we booked and may have been diffrent if we had.

“My stay was very nice and the staff was amazingly wonderful.”
The location was great! It was very walkable from the Downtown area, in particular the Bus Depot. I counted 7 blocks away. Also, what made the location feel safer was that it was about 5 blocks from the Polis (Police Station).

“Excellent quaint house with lovely hosts.”
Samuel and family went way out of their way to make my trip great. They are so lovely. The place, for me as a solo traveler, was perfect. I managed to walk to divi beach every day which was my favorite beach on the island. The place is in a safe local neighborhood. I enjoyed cooking meals in the air fryer provided. These guys even drove me to the airport from another accommodation after I left. Great hosts. Good price. Great coffee too ;) Looking forward to staying again.

“Cheep for Aruba and ok”
For a cheaper place on Aruba location is very good - 10 minutes walk from bus terminal, the same from the city centre, 20 minutes to the closest beach and 5 minutes to a supermarket. Well equipped kitchen. Terrace area is quite nice. I liked the hammock. Owner is nice too. I didn't use a pool but I liked it was there if I wanted a refreshment.
