The place is exactly as described. It was lovely. The area isn’t so safe at night but for the price that’s what I expected. It’s a 5 min walk to the red line. About 1 hour train/bus ride from the airport. The host was very responsive. There is decent sized kitchen with a stove, microwave, and fridge. What I liked was that there was a half bath in there so someone could use the toilet if someone was in the shower. My plans ended up changing so I needed to extend my stay they were very accommodating. I wouldn’t mind staying here again.
However I don’t know if it was a language barrier but the host doesn’t seem to listen very well. Instead of sheets or quilts to cover us they gave duvet covers. I was cold so I asked the host where does he keep the quilts he said that they keep them at another location during certain times of the year. I asked if he could send 1-2 over because I was cold at night because the other suite mates wanted the AC on. Instead of just getting me a quilt he told housekeeping to take away the AC remote away from us on a day that was 30 degrees. He said they were going to take the remote away Oct 1 anyway. Which is fine but they should take the remote away when it’s not hot anymore. Not by the month. Even though I said it multiple times not to take it the remote as I was the only person who was cold at night. He inconvenienced my fellow suite mates and even myself because that night was 27 degrees. We were sweating to death. We had to leave the balcony door open. When I woke up I had bug bites on my legs. I checked the weather for the rest of this week it’s ranging from 25-30 degrees. I left the next day but the other people that have to stay there have to deal with it just because I asked for a quilt. I understand doing everything to please the customer but sometimes just do what they ask without doing anything unwarranted. I was sorry I even asked.
