Transportation can be provided if requested from a location of choice or ask for directions to the guest house.
I was raised as a child in this dynamic community where I attended elementary and primary schools. This provided the opportunity to be socially grounded with the settled citizens and a knowledge base for the distinctive production of coffee in the Blue Mountains.
As an authentic football fan, I support Arsenal Fc in the EPL and Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1. My greatest motivator is my father. I was raised being accustomed to his dedicated work ethics and determination thus it has influenced my life goals positively.
It would be an eventful experience having you as a guest as you will learn more about the Jamaican culture, language, foods etc.
A quote from one of my favourite Jamaican artist, Loyal Flames, is: "Keep Focus".
Jay's Guest House is located in Epping Farm District, exactly on the foothills of the Blue Mountain Peak. The neighbourhood is quite friendly and relaxing. Perfectly landscaped with tall trees and other vegetation. It's all natural.
