The property is very well located, a few minutes from the city centre (either by bus or walking). Room is very confortable and Alonzo is a kind, understanding, and accommodating host. I had a short though pleasant stay.

Extraordinary experience! I've been in this house for 3 months and received unprecedented hospitality. The location was great, friendly and clean. Alonzo is always available to help and give advice to his guests. I also had the opportunity to taste some of his delicious dishes. Excellent Jerk Chicken and pizza! 5 stars richly deserved. Strongly reccommended!
