I think our expectations were high due to the price (school holiday prices were more than double regular prices), but maybe that’s a reflection on the poor value for money of the area, rather than this apartment specifically. There are no air conditioners or ceiling fans (only very loud pedestal fans), and due to the cement walled court yards on both sides there is no breeze through the house. It was very hot and stuffy. The TV also didn’t work (couldn’t get digital channels, only works if you’ve got a Netflix, or similar, account) and the wifi was slow.
Lastly, the front door swung open twice when we thought it was closed and locked, and it was also too easy for our toddler to open (and an easy walk onto the main road). I think it would be worth investing in a chain lock for the door.
Otherwise the kitchen and bathrooms were lovely (strangely no toilet roll holder or towel rails in one bathroom), it’s nicely styled, the courtyard is lovely, and the beds are comfortable. The fridge and cupboard are also well stocked with staples, which was a lovely surprise.
