Great location
This studio apartment was the perfect size for two people. It was actually a little roomier than I thought it would be from the pictures. It is definitely close to the beach as described. We had rented a car (ample parking) but the bus stop was right up the street and getting to Bridgetown or Speightstown is very easy, though somewhat scary as the drivers take turns at speeds you wouldn’t think possible. Definitely rent a car if you want to go inland or to the east coast. Back to the apartment: daily housekeeping was fantastic and the grounds well kept. Julia, the owner was very responsive and gave us a lot of useful information before our arrival. There is no air conditioner but the fans provided enough relief from the heat. Also, there is no television but that was fine with us. WiFi worked well. We would definitely return in the future!

Wonderful holiday
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.

Our 2nd stay at Art Studio 2!
Great central location with beach in your backyard and restaurants and grocery store within 5 min walk. As usual Julia was a fabulous host and her apartment has everything you can possibly need. She even has beach chairs and umbrella after we suggested it last year! A special thank you to cleaning/property staff Trudy, Michelle and Michael who do a wonderful job!
