Excellent location, very walkable to restaurants and attractions. Unit very clean and welcoming, felt safe and at peace. Host was excellent in communication and very responsive to all inquiries. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for comfortable accommodations in the area.
This is our third stay at this beautiful apartment in New Kingston, and this time we stayed even longer.As mentioned in my previous review in 2023, the apartment is gated, secure, and centrally located, just a stone’s throw from many attractions, great food spots, and entertainment options. The check-in process was seamless, with clear and accurate instructions.Communication with the host, Mikhail, was excellent as always. He was prompt and responsive to every query. It was a pleasure to finally meet him in person. He is truly a wonderful human.The apartment itself remains spotless, cosy, and exactly as pictured. The thoughtful touches such as snacks, juices, water, teas, and more really enhance the experience. It’s also great to see how Mikhail continues to improve the space based on guest feedback. More amenities have been added, such as the water dispenser, which we really appreciated. It shows how much he cares about continuously improving the guest experience.During our stay, there was an island-wide power outage lasting around 8 hours. Mikhail went above and beyond, proactively reaching out, and even driving over in the dark to ensure we had light, which we truly appreciated. That level of care and dedication is truly exceptional.As long as this apartment is available, it will always be our go-to place whenever we visit Kingston.
I must commend the host for the property everything was exactly as shown, excellent host clean property, the place felt like home. I would recommend persons to book this place, central location this place is just pure awesomeness. Will definitely book here again.
Easy check in and great communication beforehand. Property easy access to everything. Property is very clean and only thing missing was washing machine.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
The stay was very peaceful. The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos and very clean. Mikhail was very responsive to any questions asked and very accurate in his description of the nearby amenities. Thplplease
We had a delightful experience during our brief stay at Stay Awhile. The accommodation was impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean. Moreover, its convenient location allowed us easy access to various amenities within walking distance.
Our hosts was exceptional, they made sure we were settled in and the home was clean.
Convenience to restaurants etc was awesome.
We totally loved “staying awhile”
I had an awesome stay at this place 2 bedroom apartment one room had double beds which was great, it’s located near all professionals activities in the heart of New Kingston! you’re 15 minutes to crossroads, 20 -25 minutes to the national stadium, halfway tree, Garden House etc:The area is safe and quiet.The place was clean updated with amenities, stove, refrigerator, living area, dining area,the beds was very comfortable and inviting, you have to have access to get in a gate man is there to assist you if needed I was surprised with all the welcome goodies and refreshments store in the refrigerator free for us.The host Mr Mikhail was pleasant and easy to communicate with he made sure if I needed anything he would provide it in a timely manner.My only issue is there was some construction work on the site during the day which was a little annoying I wish that would’ve noted in the add when booking!But apart from that I would recommend this place to anyone, and will book this place again.Thanks Mr Mikhail Francis for having us i really appreciate.

Stay A While
I really wanted to "stay longer", not just "...for a while".
So in fact, I've extended my stay in Jamaica and booked two other stays for March.
The condo is conveniently located,clean, well appointed and extremely comfortable.
In addition to an unmatched pricepoint throughout new Kingston, the property provides a luxurious ambiance and a feeling of home away from home.
COMMENTS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. NOT TO BE POSTED!!! Nice secure property. Good Location.Some difficulty locatiing for the first time. Bathrooms have no outlets, no toiletpaper holder, no racks for hanging towels etc. Water pressure somewhat low in master bedroom.
