"Stopped by the Oxmo Public Market around the same time on a Monday afternoon and it was not busy at all. It felt cozy and comfortable, making it a nice place to walk through without feeling rushed. There was plenty to look at and enjoy, and the overall vibe felt relaxed and intimate. On a day like today, parking was available, though I am not sure how it is on busier days. There is also street parking nearby. For those with kids, the restroom has a changing table, which was appreciated."
