The property was in a very good location, the communication from the host was excellent, she allowed us to check in early, and the apartment was clean. A few suggestions would be to add nightstands with drawers next to the bed, change the type of exit sign above the door (it's very bright at night), and change the blinds to shut out the outside lights at night.

This place was perfect for a quick getaway. The room was clean, comfortable, and a short walk or bike ride to the main area. The outside area was also great for enjoying a drink in the evening or coffee in the morning. We’d definitely stay again.

Great value for the price paid on the dates we stayed for location above all else. About a 12-minute walk to the historic uptown shops & Columbia restaurant - with other fun shops along the way. Also walkable to pizza (right next door) and Mc Donald’s for morning coffee. Room itself (unit 3) was adequately stocked for a basic room. Welcome mat on unit next to us was falling apart, which was a comical first impression. Cleaning person removed it after guest left (good call).A little additional lighting for the path to back parking would be a great addition. Overall a good value for a basic room that was affordable and close to what most would want to see and do.

Overall we enjoyed our stay with how close it was to downtown St. Augustine. The room was the perfect size for me and my wife for a long weekend stay. However the bed was not comfortable, the middle sagged quite a bit making us slouch in the middle of the night and was very loud when you moved around and made it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. The shower head was not very clean as well as the walls in the bathroom had some kind of substance running down them.Despite this we still had a great weekend away.

Not quite the gem that it is advertised to be.

The listing clearly stated that there was an EV charging station on site. We had planned on that, and when we got there, there was only an outlet to connect your own EV charger. The host did not seem to even know what her listing said, she asked me to send her a screenshot of where I saw that in the listing. She did nothing to compensate us in any way for the inconvenience, other than tell us to go to the outlet mall to charge our car. We chose this particular property because it said there was an EV charging station. In addition, the property was not very clean, the bathroom needs a good scrub down and the baseboards were pretty dirty. The outside area has a bunch of café lights, and most of them were burned out. Overall, it just seems that this property is not well kept.

This is a great place to stay when you are looking to be close to the downtown area. There are so many places to go within walking distance which we loved versus having to pay for parking everywhere we went.

It really is a hidden gem!

It was perfect for what we needed! I definitely recommend it! It is central to downtown St Augustine and surrounding area. The host was very nice and accommodating! If I could change one thing it would be to update the bed or add a box spring, we were able to sleep pretty good but a box spring would help for those who would prefer a firmer bed. Otherwise it was still amazing and Thank you to the host!
