Stanley is a super nice host and very supportive and helpful person. He picked us up from the airport, explained everything we need to know about the town and helped us with our laundry and everything. Would definitely recommend, this place offers a good value for money to be close to the center.

Travelbee90 Germany

The apartment is just 5 minutes from the city center of Oranjestad where the main bus terminal and the harbor are. The host is very friendly and nice. The accommodation is good value for money. There are also some restaurants and shops in the nearby. The apartment was clean and comfortable.

Incredible service oriented personal, very helpfull. Comfterbul bed, own litle kitchen with a big refridgerator and good size freeser. Close to shopping and restaurants and a smaler "sun pool". Close to lokal transportation to the incredible beaches of Aruba for only 2 dollar/way.

Eva Sweden

Stanley and his wife were very nice hosts. Place was safe, clean and wifi and air con worked great. Location was perfect and communication was good

Marcus United States

Perfect hosts. Comfortable mattress. Great wifi. Very suitable for long term stay. 10 minute walk to town centre. 4 minute walk to large supermarket. Air conditioning worked well. Power point near bed. Outdoor seating area. Pool. Fridge. Microwave. Hot plate. Great budget option but hire a car to give you freedom to visit beaches and rest of the island. Booked one of the smaller studios but they have larger options as well.

  • Does your shower have hot water? How much do you charge for a rental car?
    Hello, we do have hot water though not in the sense that you are asking I am afraid, most properties like ours do not use external water heaters because the pipes run most ways in the sun thus the water is warm on most hours sometimes even hot!!!
