Apartment Two & Three: Studio (Lower Floor)
The lower floor of the house has been sub-divided into two one-bedroom apartments. A connecting door between the living rooms can be unlocked, instantly transforming the apartment into a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment for families or groups. Both apartments are of similar size, identically equipped and essentially offer the same high level of clean, spacious comfortable accommodation. Both apartments offer sea views from their front balconies, but Apartment 3, although marginally larger, is located at the rear of the building and has more restricted views in this respect.
Apartment 2
Offering a total floor area of 41 square metres, excluding the front balcony, the apartment is spacious by most standards – and exceptionally so by the standards of this level of accommodation.
A 5.2 x 4.8m living room dominates the front of the building. Light grey floor tiles help to generate a feeling of space and light and a lovely cool touch to the foot. The living room is not air-conditioned, but adequate ventilation from the balcony door and main window ensure a steady air-stream which can be supplemented by an oscillating floor fan.
The living room is furnished with a dining table and four chairs, a new fridge-freezer, bottled gas 4-ring oven, kettle, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and a reasonable selection of crockery and cooking utensils, etc. In other words, pretty much exactly the same as in Apartment 1. Two settees grouped around a TV set provide a spacious lounge area, but I can’t imagine that many would use this in preference to sitting on the balcony and admiring the views.
The 4.2 x 2.75m bedroom is fitted with a Queen-size bed, bedside tables and touch-sensitive lamps. A small wardrobe provides half a metre of three-quarter length hanging space, a dressing table top and five deep drawers for clothing, etc. Prince tells me that he intends to increase the amount of storage space within the next month or two. The bedroom is fully air-conditioned with another quiet and efficient modern split-level unit.
A relatively small, but perfectly adequate, bathroom leads off the bedroom. The bathroom is simply furnished with a wash basin set into a wooden vanity unit, a toilet and a fully-tiled walk-in shower. A shaver socket is provided in the bathroom. Like all the apartments – and not always to be expected with Tobago accommodation - both hot and cold water are provided throughout.
Apartment 3
This apartment is so similar to Apartment 2 that I do not propose to describe it in detail. It is marginally larger than Apartment 2 and this extra space is to be found in the bedroom – which has a double bed plus a large (42-inch) single bed. Once again, the bedroom is fully air-conditioned.
When guests reserve both Apartment 2 and 3, they can optionally book it as a three-bedroom apartment sleeping a total of 7 people. To achieve this, the living room in Apartment 3 is converted into the third bedroom. As a very nice touch, the living room in this apartment has been equipped with another of the excellent Toshiba air-conditioning units.
