YOUR PRIVATE ANTIGUA RETREAT
Step off the cobblestones and into your own stand-alone loft — a newly renovated space where colonial charm meets modern comfort. This isn't a room inside someone's house or a unit in a large complex. It's a private, self-contained loft designed for travelers who want authenticity without sacrificing comfort.

THE BEDROOM
Your king bed sits in the open mezzanine loft — soft USA made mattress, quality linens, blackout curtains, and a direct view of Volcán de Agua through the window. There's also a queen fold-out sofa downstairs if you're traveling with kids or a friend. Most comfortable for 2 adults; sleeps up to 4.

THE KITCHEN
Fully equipped for real cooking — not just a microwave and a kettle. You'll find a stove, refrigerator, freezer, blender, toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans, oils, and a proper coffee setup for your first morning brew. Save on eating out or prep a meal with fresh ingredients from Mercado Central, a 4-minute walk away.

THE BATHROOM
Modern and clean. Hot water, fresh towels, shampoo, shower gel, and a hair dryer. Everything you need without having to pack it.

Parking Information
Yes, we have excellent parking options nearby. But we do not have private on-site parking — like 95% of properties in the heart of Antigua.
Listings advertising "free on-site parking" often have real problems (we know from experience). Other cars block entrances, guests get stuck. Narrow streets + limited enforcement = chaos. Once parked and checked in to our Loft or Casa, you won't need your car — everything's walking distance. You're right in the heart of Antigua's city center.
All parking options and details will be sent in your check-in instructions — we make it super easy for you.
Your Options
- Secure Garage — 2–3 min walk
Locked, staffed, cameras. Prices & hours vary by season — confirm on arrival.
- Street Parking — Usually available right near our door
Monitored by city cameras and ours. City fee: Q10 weekdays / Q20 weekends. Pay police at entry or online.
One thing: During major holidays and festivals (Easter, Christmas, local events), parking gets tight across the entire city — completely out of our control.

WHAT GUESTS SAY
"This was the perfect home base to work from and explore Antigua for a few weeks. It was the perfect location and close to everything you could need. The space was exactly as described and had all the extras you need to settle in and feel at home quickly, not to mention the bed was so comfortable! It was also in a safe area and felt very secure which is important to me as a female traveler. Would highly recommend this place and would have loved to be able to stay longer." — Alyssa - Moncton, Canada
