Dear "Anonymous",We take this opportunity to thank you and your family for staying with us and for your many verbal expressions of delight and appreciation of our accommodation, our garden, décor and for the Tropical Continental Breakfasts that we serve daily. You were gracious guests in every way and we particularly appreciated your flexibility by paying in cash when our card facility was not available. That the exchange rate quoted was initially incorrect by US2 was an oversight on our part and we thank you for making good on the difference of 37. We acknowledge your post stay letter confirming that your research into our country's tiered foreign exchange rate system concurs with our explanations to you.Every effort is being made to initiate your sound advice of incorporating that detail on our listing platforms to ensure that transparency is not only provided but also seen to be provided; this to avoid a reoccurence.Our kind regards to you and your family.Sincerely,Michelle (Neita).Owner/Manager.

While we respect your preference for anomnity, we so appreciate that you felt right at home with our family and are willing to share your feelings here.
At Neita's Nest, we offer a homestay experience; we live here, we welcome you, we prepare your meals, your room, and assist by ensuring that you achieve your bucket list while here in Kingston. And, with our new highways, even day trips to other destinations across Jamaica are doable from your home base.
Whether the purpose of your stay is vacation, business, research, rest or a special occasion, we know that your time here is premium, so we help you maximise each moment by introducing you to the Kingston we love, the experiences we enjoy, ensuring that you feel welcomed and relaxed on your return home.
As our tagline states, "Why visit like a tourist when you can live with Jamaicans?" It is a natural way of being for us.
Cheers,

Our Dear Anonymous Guest,
We are so very happy that you decided to spend your entire vacation in Jamaica with us, and are doubly delighted that you found peace of mind and a sense of security during your time at our homestay bed and breakfast in Kingston.
You opted for a community tourism experience, and that is exactly what we offer. In fact, our tagline is "Why visit like a tourist when you can live with Jamaicans?" It is clear that you enjoyed our home as much as you enjoyed exploring our city and suburbs.
Thank you for your recommendation. The garden furniture that was in your favourite spot is a new addition to our outdoor patio furniture. You will be pleased to know that we do have a hammock; we just have not hung it yet. Will send you a photo when we decide where; probably under the treehouse. What do you think?
Thank you for staying and enjoying.
Cheers,
Michelle. .

Would you know, over the years, several guests have asked if the moutains that we face are the Blue Mountains. I have always said that they are much further back and out of out line of vision. It was not until a few months ago when I looked on a map showing the Blue and John Crow Mountains, that I realised that they border on the Hermitage Dam, just across from us. So yes, we do face the cooling Blue Mountains, which makes our view all the more special.
With such a beautiful ambience, the tone is set for a calming, homey experience in our small bed and breakfast. We are only too happy that you found your experience to be unnique, our home to be spotless and our meals to be at the standard of "gourmet"..
With our personal love for tasty meals, we are selective with our dinner recommendations. Cellar 8 fits the bill.
Glad you enjoyed your experiencce here.
Michelle.

Dear Magdalena, we appreciate you for taking the ime to write your review of your stay with us here at Neita's Nest, and for including such detail of our hospitality, service, meals and safety. Potential guests will find yours useful.
For their benefit, in particular, I should clarify that ours is a private bed and breakfast. We offer a homestay-styled experience. To protect the safety, security and, indeed, privacy of our guests and household, we do not accept same day bookings. For that reason, we decidedly do not put up a sign at our gate. When guests book in advance, we immediately send directions; these our guests find accurate and helpful in all its detail.
So Magdalena, you are indeed correct when you say that ours is a "very private location". We are glad that we fitted the bill for you in terms of being away from the more heavily populated areas of the city. Being in a suburban neighbourhood, we have a slightly rural look, feel and sound, while being just 5 minutes from the nearest commencial district, Manor Park.
The garden is a work in progress and our part time gardener will be delighted when I share your feedback with him. We are located in the Stony Hill area, and you can well imagine the challenges of turning a rocky and sloping terrain into a colourful garden. We are pleased with the process, and thank you.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us.

Anonymous,
We are happy you found our offering hospitable, caring and secure. Your experience of noise coming from the common area was an unfortunate one and, I can assure you, a one-off. The same care that your received in all other areas will be extended to ensure that our guests are not disturbed after hours.
Neita's Nest is billed as a place for quiet enjoyment, and this is what we have offered to our guests, with much success, over our past eight years.
As far as community parties, especially over the holiday season, there is little we can do beyond trying to have the police enforce the law. The bar in the valley has been, for the most part, cooperative in that regard.
You are very correct about our location being secure and some distance from activities; actually, a 5-minute drive from the nearest commercial centre, Manor Park. Being in the suburbs, as we are, secludes us and our guests from the majority of city noices and congestion. It is a trade off.

Dear Lan,
Your detailed and positive review is so appreciated. While we too regretted that your stay was only for one night, we certainly made fast friends and enjoyed your company as much as you enjoyed ours.
It was my pleasure also to learn of the food flavours of your region, and of your cooking techniques. It was a memorable experience, and we have you to thank.

My sincere apologies for not responding to your most generous review. We went through some major changes at the time and, while I did read it, it slipped me to reply. Almost two years later and your comments are as heart warming now as they were then.
As you have chosen to be anonymous here, I hope you have since kept your promise and are among our many repeat guests. If not, we look forward to hosting you again soon, and for as long as you wish.
We will be here for you.

Dear Megan,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review of your stay with us. You spared no detail, and for that we are trulty appeciative, as it is to the details that prospective guests look in trying to find the kind of accommodation and service they want fro themselves.
Our garden is even more lush and colourful this year with the kind weather we have been having, and the bird and butterflies still share the space.
We are happy you enjoyed your stay, and hope you will be our guests again soon.
Sincerely,
Michelle.

Dear JVV,
We are delighted that you found inspiration here at Neita's Nest. We do claim to be an artist's haven, not as a promotional gimmick, but for the fact that painters, authors like yourself, film and television producers, researchers, photographers and song writers have all found their creativity flow effortlessly during their stay.
We trust that you continue to find inspiration wherever you are, and that it will not take a writer's block to get you back here.
Cheers,
Michelle.

Réponse de Michelle Neita le 21 sept. 2016
Dear Extremely upset,
If my experience was like yours I would certainly write a review like you have. However, I wish to assure you, and the general public, that you did not stay at Neita's Nest.
A quick glance at the reviews written here and elswhere over our past 6 1/2 years in operation will show that the far majority of our scores have been Very Good and Excellent; a strong suggestion that we are far from con artists.
We do offer Free WiFi and it is available throughout all living spaces, and most garden spaces. In the event the service goes down, we offer external modems to our guests, at no charge.
We offer hot and cold running water, and we offer a 2-Course breakfast consisting of fresh tropical fruit and a cooked meal. Fruit Juice, Assorted Teas, Freshly Perked Coffee, Breads and Spreads complete the daily service. We do not take same-day bookings so there is absolutely no way we would be taking a guest and not be prepared to deliver full service, including the optional dinner on request. We are a bed and breakfast service, and are mandated by our local authorities to serve a cooked meal.
Neita's Nest is located in the city of Kingston, in a suburban residential area which is 5 minutes away from the nearest commercial centre. We are a tightly-knit community of about 200 individual homes, with gardens. We have a private community security service, street lights.
Neita's Nest is a homestay-styled bed and breakfast, with a small family who lives here and hosts our guests. We have fulltime staff who live on property. There is never a time that guests are left alone. This has always been my personal standard for house guests plus, it is a requirement of our government. You can be assured that you did not stay with us.
