Summary: I was at a conference in nearby Bellairs Institute, and colleagues were jealous of my find! A nice patio, AC, very close to the beach, to the shops and many food options. Despite the construction of a new hotel next door, the place was relaxing and very enjoyable with hummingbirds visiting during my morning coffee. Next conference, I wil stay there again. Thanks Julia for being so responsive.

Summary: The property is lovely and well maintained. The AC is strong and the bed comfortable. But what is truly impressive is the proximity to both the beach (perhaps a 1 minute walk) and all of the Holetown restaurants and shopping areas. Everything is easily walkable. The people complaining about the apartment being run down are being too picky in my opinion.

Summary: Art Studios is one of those places people return to again and again. (We met some of them!) You're maybe a 3 minute walk through the small complex to the beach, which is nice and sandy for swimming and extends in both directions, great for walking. Lots of shops and restaurants within 10 minutes in both directions. The studio was clean and comfortable and exactly as described. Plenty of room to store our stuff, table and chairs both inside and out for dining, and even a sun lounger on the terrace for relaxing. Great shower, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off. Plus everything you need. Relaxing Caribbean decor. Julia cheerfully answered our questions, gave great dining recommendations, and helped arrange a taxi to the airport when we left. Many other guests were repeat visitors and were welcoming. A nice neighborhood vibe. There is construction going on next door. The noise didn't bother us. (It was kind of fascinating watching the cranes.) We would love to come back!

Summary: We highly recommend this studio for many reasons: - Julia the host made contact almost immediately after booking and continued to provide all the information required to ensure we were familiar with the accommodation before arrival. - The location is perfect for the wonderful being only 35 metres from the beach, close to local shops & restaurants. - The studio has everything you need for catering and trips to the beach including seats, snorkels, towels etc. - Meschell, Trudy & Michael provide excellent onsite services. - The long term residents made us feel so welcome and provided lots of local information. We look forward to returning next year. Rob & Kathryn

Summary: This is the second time we have stayed in Art Studio 2 and we loved our time there once again . For a start our hostess Julia couldn’t have been more helpful and kind . We had a few extra needs this time which she went out of her way to help with. The studio is artistically decorated with a very well equipped kitchen comfortable bed a great shower. There is a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The studio is set in beautiful gardens and those working and living in the complex are friendly and helpful.The short access to a sandy beach facing West for beautiful sunset views also has safe warm swimming. There are plenty of restaurants of all types and prices nearby and a supermarket with everything you would need for self catering. There is a local bus service and although we didn’t rent a car that is an option with many sights experiences and gardens to to enjoy. We understand some building work is starting on a new hotel next door which is an immediate concern but we will hope to return again to this lovely place.
