Dissatisfied
The view was beautiful but misleading as there is a huge, ugly bauxite plant on the left, not shown in any photos. The noise was extremely loud and annoying from all the trucks with air brakes, motorcycles and cars with loud mufflers from the road directly below the unit. It was so loud that we couldn't converse with each other on the balcony or talk on our cell phone. The description said "occasional noise"; this is completely misleading and inaccurate. Further, the kitchen was tiny and there was mold on the refrigerator door. The sensor for the electric stove was broken and never got replaced during our 3 month stay. The description also claimed that the maid could cook for an additional fee. She had no idea about this and no interest in cooking! Lastly, the internet was terrible, and after we complained a new router was installed which improved the speed, but it was still disconnected continuously.

Beautiful View with the Perfect Location
This place was GREAT! Ms. Sherril was more than accommodating. Quick answers and resolutions to questions and concerns. The thing to keep in mind is that one side of the home is open to the outside - so you have windows that are screened and shuttered, but don’t close off the outside elements completely. But closing the bedroom doors and curtains assist in keeping the A/C in the bedrooms more than sufficient! The home is perfectly placed in the Columbus Heights complex - right in the front. You can walk EVERYWHERE that you want to go. Fishing Village is wonderful. The Reggae Kitchen there is our favorite restaurant and bar. If you walk up the street a way, The Jerk Center is the next runner up. If you want a spa day - Candy’s Tips N Toes is the place to go. Sitting on the balcony and looking at the pier is serene. The swimming pool is literally outside of the door. Well kept landscaping. The washer and dryer are a short walk away. And Ms. Angela (housekeeper) is very nice and thorough. She comes 2x a week and leaves the place crisp, clean and refreshed. This place feels like home. =~} Absolutely enjoyed this place. Can’t wait to come back.
