The space is quiet and private, we felt safe and it is in a quaint neighbourhood. Accessible via security gates and three small sets of stairs. The single room and living area get natural light, which is nice.
The space is large, but minimal in design. Don't expect homely touches. The air conditioning works very well, the kitchen is adequate. I would appreciate next time perhaps some coat hangers in the wardrobe, and perhaps a USB charging dock somewhere in the apartment. (We however easily bought one from the nearby grocery store - which in hindsight, I should have left for the next guest.)
The beds are very firm with no fuss linen. We got used to it.
The bathroom is tight, and overall is clean. However the shower area does need a deep spring clean to remove long-term grime around the tiles, glass, window and fan. The toilet requires patience when flushing, but I appreciate it is not something the host can easily rectify.
I definitely recommend you rent the pocket WiFi from Sharon, it is cheap, fast, with unlimited data and lasted most of the day whilst we were out. (we carried a power bank to recharge it.) Message her when you book. I simply left cash upon departure.
Don't forget to BYO towels - we forgot. At this price point, if they are not included, I have suggested at least the option to rent them be offered.
I have also suggested Sharon provide a simple neighbourhood guide, we found some great brunch spots (Classified for food, and Happy Alley Coffee Bar for caffeine.) We also found a nice foot spa parlour - Lively Foot. A nice way to end a day, all within easy walking from the apartment.
I recommend you familiarise yourself with where the water heating button is located before trying to shower..... I had to re-read the notes on my phone to find the correct switch, which is not labelled or highlighted anywhere.
We caught the "ding ding" each morning, which is very convenient and a 10 minute walk from the apartment.
Considering the price, location, and friendliness of Sharon - I would recommend the apartment, as long as you have clear understanding of what you are getting.
