About this property

Cozy, Smart Apartment in the centre of New Kingston

Carmen’s Smart Oasis is a unique place of relaxation and rejuvenation in the city of Kingston. The experience of the guests of Carmen’s Smart Oasis is comparable to the refreshing and fulfilling experience of a traveler in a desert who discovers a source of water.
Luxurious, modern, comfortable, convenient and smart apartment, with all you need to enjoy. Close proximity to restaurants, shopping district, entertainment, the city’s attractions and yet quiet. Located in a 24hr secured complex.

The space
Two (2) minutes’ walk to the world famous Devon House, where the best ice cream, pastries along with exquisite dining is available. The apartment is a few minutes away, walking/driving from many Embassies and High Commissions, such as, the Canadian, Unites States, British, Germany, Nigerian and Cayman just to name a few.
In addition to Carmen’s Smart Oasis being aesthetically a place of relaxation and rejuvenation, as mentioned in the name, it is smart. With Amazon's Echo with Alexa, you can control the apartment with your voice! Too tired to check if you had closed the door? Want to turn on/off the lights, air condition, fan and television? No worries, ask Alexa, your friend to do it for you. Use your phone to initiate having your coffee made. When leaving the apartment, simply say "Alexa" "Turn off everything" or press the departure button at the door... Wondering if you locked the door? We can program the door to close automatically when you leave! Everything included for your ease and comfort. This is your home away from home.
Your temporary home offers the following features and high-end amenities:
- Central location to New Kingston, Ligunea and Halfway Tree
- 24 Hour Security in an enclosed complex.
- 24 Hour self check-in option.

- Safe inside the apartment
- Clothes hangers so you can unpack and make yourself at home.
- Full kitchen with all essential appliances (stove, microwave, blender, refrigerator, toaster oven, coffee maker, kettle, utensils, dinnerware, etc.)
- Fully equipped bathroom, including:
- Shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser.
- Free parking
- Hair dryer in the bathroom
- Iron with ironing board

We have anticipated your every need.
***Of special note is the fact that although the apartment has one room with a queen bed, because of the sleeper sofa in the living room, which converts to the size of a full bed, we can accommodate two additional persons on the sleeper sofa. Therefore, the apartment is built for two (2) but can accommodate four (4). Additional guest charge applies per person per night when more than 2 guests are staying in the apartment***
For guests staying for a week (ie 7 nights) or more, we offer complimentary cleaning once a week to ensure the place is refreshed for our guests and to help maintain the space.
I am available to help to make your stay fulfilling. Just let me know.
Guest access
Guest will have access to the entire complex and facilities, except the linen closet within the apartment. This is reserved for our supplies for replenishment and cleaning.
Other things to note
- Guided walkthroughs will be provided, upon request by the guest, for all features and functionalities of the apartment to facilitate maximum usage.
- House keys have a presence sensor, which if lost or damaged will result in a US$100 replacement fee. Additionally if the key is lost, this will require changing at least one of the locks (for safety reasons). As such an additional replacement fee of up to US$200 (e.g. If we have to change the smart deadbolt) will me charged for each lock replacement.
All automated systems are in place to save energy and provide convenience. However, let us know and we will adjust them to meet your needs.

My stay
I think it's an excellent apartment but when I got there the wires from the cable and wifi was disconnected, which the host came and we rectified it, before I leave the pin for the door was disabled and I wasn't able to enter the apartment for 2hours. Overall it's a good place felt safe but those minor things have to be situated before my overall stay was 75 out of 100.

About the host

Hosted by Shauna Ricketts

Host profile image
I am an extroverted individual who likes meeting new people and creating new experiences. I enjoy spending time in nature such as swimming, travelling and nature walks. If there is an option to do an activity indoors vs outdoors, I will always choose the outdoor option.
It brings me great intrinsic reward to exceed my targets and reasonable expectations that people have of me, whether this is in my professional, family, social or personal life.
I am a senior employee at one of the big four (4) global network of audit firms. My first employment was in the hospitality industry, where I enjoyed observing travelers and vacationers being thrilled/fulfilled by their experiences with the various gifts of our island, people, food and music. I was always happy to have aided in the positive experiences of these travelers and vacationers.

Why they chose this property

Because it is central, within the shopping and entertainment district. Very close to hospitals, embassies and restaurants. Modern and comfortable.

What makes this property unique

Smart, fully equipped apartment. Self check-in. 24 hours security.
