The views are STUNNING. I mean completely unbelievable. The photos and description are accurate. It is just as lovely and strange as it looks.
So, let's walk through our experience. We requested an early check-in and Bachcare was quick to respond and accommodating (for a fee which is silly because the place was literally sitting there empty but well, you know...money). There are two flights of stairs so make sure that won't be a problem for getting in and out. It is not easily accessible for people with limited mobility. No marks against the place for this though, it doesn't claim to be. It is just something to note. The views are STUNNING. The apartment shares an entrance with a Thai restaurant that it sits above. If you like Thai food (yum, curry!), it will smell delicious. If not, not so much. Speaking of smells, the neighbor to the apartment leaves his shoes outside in the hallway and those will NOT delight your olfactory senses. We actually would hold our breath after we passed the restaurant when we would come in. It was bad. We guessed at his occupation just to try to come up with what could make the shoes so unpleasant but literally nothing made sense to us. If they were mine I would leave them outside too. We never saw or heard him come in or out but KNEW when he was home. Come armed with some spray air freshener or some shoe odor balls to drop in on your way by. The views are STUNNING.
Once inside, the place seemed to have everything it needed. And had we just stayed a night or two it would have been fine. But we were there for 5 days which is long enough to be able to peek behind the curtain, so to speak. The bed was reasonably comfortable. Our listing included linen service but double check that when you book. The kitchen cabinets were grimy. The sink had mold growing behind it. The washing machine doesn't work. The shower has no enclosure so the water just goes all over the bathroom and soaks everything. I would have just taken a sit down shower but the tub didn't drain properly either. I reached out to Bachcare for some of these things and they never got back with me. So, let me say again that the views are STUNNING. And for one night, I could have probably just dealt with the problems. But if you're going for any length of time you need to know what you're getting in to.
BUT THOSE VIEWS...STUNNING.
