I want to start this review by saying that I would book this flat again in a heartbeat (and likely will in the future). Melissa is an amazing host - kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and communicative. She pre-arranged a taxi to take me from the airport to the flat and helped me feel right at home. While there, she took me to a yoga/gong bath evening under the full moon, brought me to a local coffee shop on the beach, and responded promptly anytime I needed something. The flat is large and would be perfect for two people (even though I was there solo and am a homebody, so it worked great for me). I was also given access to the Fairmont’s beach club (a very short walk from the flat), which was lovely.
Getting around by bus is as easy as it gets. There are bus stops very close to the flat and a ton of them throughout the island. I took the yellow minibuses everywhere for $3.50 Barbadian dollars ($1.75 USD) and the frequent buses make it super easy to explore the island or even just run to the grocery store. I never once felt unsafe and grew to enjoy the bus rides.
The unit has a washing machine (make sure to buy some liquid detergent) and every kitchen appliance you can imagine (there’s even an air fryer and a Nutribullet!). It is the perfect flat for a long-term stay.
I have almost no suggestions. I would maybe include extra beach towels but really, that’s all I can think of. All in all, I cannot recommend Melissa’s flat highly enough. I had an absolutely wonderful stay.
