Lots of pros and some cons...This guesthouse is downtown Basseterre and is above an Asian grocery with no elevator. It is on the waterfront so prepare for beautiful seaviews &sounds of the open bay. Its footsteps away from ferry terminal which can get you to Nevis easily and other affordable local transportation. The rooms are nicely furnished and clean. Showers have very hot water. While its true that the surounding neigbourhood IS a bit rough/shady, the property is very walkable to the market, supermaket and main parts of town as well as the cruise ship terminal for more restaurant options. The host is very responsive and willing to assist..just a phone call away. As a solo female traveller i highly recommend a door jam to improve your feeling of safety/privacy. Similar to other reviews I had a mix up with my room booking but the host tried his best to resolve which i truly appreciated. I would suggest to the host to have a community kitchen stovetop which allows persons to make light meals where smaller rooms dont have kitchettes. Overall I would say it's budget friendly and you cant beat the location for basseterre.
