About this property

Quiet Downtown Artist Loft

Welcome to our beautiful old building in the heart of downtown Nassau!

Our unique artist studio is located in a secluded courtyard space. This 200+ year old building was the annex of the main house that once sat on the front of this property. This annex served as the kitchen for the main house and still has original fireplace where food was prepared. The annex has been restored and repurposed as an art gallery and studio space by internationally renowned Bahamian artist, Antonius Roberts. It serves as a community art space where creative people gather. Hillside House is very serene and peaceful even though it is in the midst of the hustle and bustle of downtown. The exposed limestone walls and paint splattered concrete floors add to the studio’s charming character. All year round the weather is beautiful and you can enjoy the romantic courtyard filled with local orchids. The courtyard also hosts our bar Tuesday to Sunday evenings until 9PM.

The studio space is filled with our favourite odds, ends and a healthy collection of art books. The studio walls are also adorned with original artwork by Bahamian artists. You are always welcome to pop next door and view the gallery’s current exhibition. Come and be inspired by the island!

There are two double beds in the loft space. The studio has it's own bathroom with a spacious shower. The kitchenette contains a mini fridge, coffee/tea maker, toaster, and convection microwave. All cooking dishes/utensils provided.

Great spot for short stay in Nassau

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint studio. It is centrally located so you can visit many sites. Make sure to visit the adjacent gallery to see the artwork of Antonius Roberts. Selena was welcoming and responsive host.

If you need a place with great character, and fantastic convenience to downtown, this is it. It was a little well worn, but safe and clean.

Cute and clean property, and Great location in downtown. Would have been perfect if not for the noise made by the neighbor, cutting grass or using some other machinery at 6am on the 2nd morning.

Wonderful experience

Enjoyed staying here very much. Beautiful place, so much character and style, like a little retreat. Was able to drop off bags early, great communication. AC worked, had a microwave and electric teapot but no stove so not really able to cook. Did not provide shampoo or conditioner, but they had a little basket of sunscreen and provided beach towels. Great location, would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Communication
It was a nice place in a great location. Communication was initially excellent as well. My only quibble is it is marketed as "quiet" but there is an outdoor bar with music right outside the room. We went to bed early and used earplugs and it was fine. If you want to stay up late and drink I'm sure this is a plus. My rating is low because the power went out overnight and remained off through checkout. It got hot without A/C, we couldn't fully charge our devices, and the shower wasn't hot. I sent a message to the host in the morning and another since and haven't received a reply. So I don't know if this is a common problem. Other businesses nearby didn't appear to have any power issues that morning.

Eine sehr schöne und zentral gelegene Unterkunft, die direkt neben einer Kunstgallerie und im Innenhof einer sehr coolen Bar liegt. Die Lage der Wohnung ist dennoch ruhig. Die Unterkunft ist absolut zu empfehlen, einzig im Schlafbereich wird es trotz Klimaanlage recht warm.

Everything the listing says it was

Really enjoyed the stay sans one thing: one of the loft mattress (futon) was terrible. My back hurt after on night. Just felt as if it had a bad spot. I moved down to the couch/twin bed downstairs and slept like a baby. Location was great with awesome food and drinks just outside your door - it was small grill and bar run by nephews of the artist - and next door to a great art gallery with art from the artist and a small gift shop next to it (sorry if nothing left for the next guest as we bought many items!). We took a Rum Tour and the tour guide asked where were staying, said he knew the place; well it was they last place on the tour!! The reason for location score being low was two burned out buildings right next to the location that were full of trash and such. But, that Sunday a crew showed up and cleaned it up. Was amazed how thoroughly clean cleaned it!! Would definitely stay again and would suggest it to anyone looking for a great location with history!!

A perfect and atypical place downtown: a real piece of Nassau !

If you wish to escape the massive tourism , if you like to be on your own with a nicely decorated spot, if you want to discover the tiny downtown from an unusual perspective, then come here ! And Selena is extremely sweet and welcoming . I really enjoyed being here , thank you Selena !

My favorite stay EVER! So much character and the best atmosphere!

If you're looking to book this space, erase all hesitation! This studio is incredible. It is immediately inviting. The courtyard is gorgeous and lit with beautiful lighting all night so it always feels safe and secure. I truly felt more at home in this place than I do in my own apartment in Eleuthera. The beds are low to the ground yet very comfortable! I slept well all three nights. This place has everything you could ever want! For coffee lovers, there is a Keurig with numerous flavors to choose from. If you're not into the Keurig, there is a Starbucks about 1 minute away. There is a bluetooth speaker that allowed me to get my jam on while getting ready and an iron with an ironing board which is essential when doing business travel. There is a full selection of nice dishware, a smart oven, and a small refrigerator. Storing leftovers and heating them up was a breeze! There are even two umbrellas for rainy days and essential travel amenities such as toothbrushes and paste, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner! The host, Selena, has truly thought of everything! She has even created a travel guide (in a binder) that I often flipped through in the evening to see what I should hit up before flying out. This place is super close to downtown and all it has to offer. I highly recommend Athena Cafe (Greek) and Taj Mahal (Indian). Taj Mahal is definitely on the pricey side, but the food is incredible! It's about a 5-minute walk from the studio. I needed a cab several times, and it was very easy to hail one at the Hilton (about 1 minute away). There is a car rental place across the street which also makes renting a vehicle incredibly convenient! I could keep going on and on about this place. I LOVED my stay and truly do not want to leave. Don't hesitate! Book this gem today!
