We stayed in the downstairs unit in late June, and our arrival was just prior to tropical storm Bret. Leonard was easily reached via WhatsApp, and he always responded very quickly. Communication was excellent from booking all the way through our stay.
Due to the approaching storm, we were allowed to check in quite early with no issues on the day of our arrival. The neighbors are very friendly; they checked on us several times during our stay, and they offered fresh fruit from their plants. The unit was quiet; the storm passed without us even hearing the wind. The only notable noise was the morning roosters, which has been common everywhere we’ve been in Dominica. We still slept great.
The unit is exactly as pictured, no surprises. The AC works well, and several fans are also provided. There is electric heat for the shower, and adjusting the water flow will give you as hot of a shower as you’d like. The upstairs unit definitely has the prime sea view; if you stay in the lower unit, introduce yourself and make friends with your upstairs neighbors to get pictures off their balcony!
Leonard is an attentive and friendly host, and a great resource for advice on local activities. If you want a genuine experience in Loubiere, this is a great place to stay.
