St. Augustine Little Studio

This little place is in a very good location at only a mile from Historic Downtown St. Augustine. The place was very clean and functional. Everything worked properly. This little place was good for my wife and I to enjoy New Years in Historic St. Augustine.

The room was perfect for our stay. We were in town for a concert and it provided a comfortable room with a refrigerator and microwave to relax in before the concert and come back to for the night. We would definitely stay again.

Would be 5 ⭐️ with a Deep Clean

Neighborhood is quiet and close to all major attractions. Home is attractive with private parking, a mini fridge, and private courtyards. The room was adequate size and the bed was comfortable. The host was very responsive and communicated well. However, the property has aged since the pictures were taken. The bathroom needs a deep cleaning of the walls, grout and shower tile to clear the mildew/mold accumulated in the wet areas. I shared these concerns with the host upon check-out, but this one time I didn’t receive any response. I sincerely hope they address these concerns because we would book this home exclusively when we are in town.

Not quite the gem that it is advertised to be.

The listing clearly stated that there was an EV charging station on site. We had planned on that, and when we got there, there was only an outlet to connect your own EV charger. The host did not seem to even know what her listing said, she asked me to send her a screenshot of where I saw that in the listing. She did nothing to compensate us in any way for the inconvenience, other than tell us to go to the outlet mall to charge our car. We chose this particular property because it said there was an EV charging station. In addition, the property was not very clean, the bathroom needs a good scrub down and the baseboards were pretty dirty. The outside area has a bunch of café lights, and most of them were burned out. Overall, it just seems that this property is not well kept.

This is a great place to stay when you are looking to be close to the downtown area. There are so many places to go within walking distance which we loved versus having to pay for parking everywhere we went.

It really is a hidden gem!

It was perfect for what we needed! I definitely recommend it! It is central to downtown St Augustine and surrounding area. The host was very nice and accommodating! If I could change one thing it would be to update the bed or add a box spring, we were able to sleep pretty good but a box spring would help for those who would prefer a firmer bed. Otherwise it was still amazing and Thank you to the host!

Good Location

We enjoyed the location of the Old Town Gem and the facility had everything we needed for a short one-night stay. The main criticism we had was that when we pulled back the bedding, we found several black hairs on the sheets which lead us to believe the sheets had not been changed since the previous occupant. As such we slept on top of the main bedspread.

Sweet Stay in St Augustine

Our accommodation was perfect for the two of us and our pup. Great location and an easy 20 minute walk to the heart of old town St Augustine. Very safe area with a very well appointed rental unit. Super happy that our host had provided a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We really enjoyed our stay!
