This place is far more charming in the photos; in person it’s a bit beat up. It feels more like a cold and sterile hotel room rather than an apartment. But not sterile in the sense that it is clean, because it wasn’t. There were stains and scuff marks all over the place, dirt on the chairs and even dead mosquitos squished against the bathroom walls. There was also a live mosquito problem and they got me good. Flies fill the room if you open the window for a moment. There is a band of homeless people gathered right outside doing drugs day and night as other reviewers mentioned, but that is not as bothersome as the smell of urine and fish from the market you take in when you come and go from the apartment. Even though we booked the room for two people, they did not supply us with extra bedding for the first night and we had to go purchase something last minute to use on the 2nd bed, as the host said they couldn’t provide anything until the next day. The bathroom sink doesn’t drain properly and leaks from the bottom. The blow dryer did not work. Now to the bright sides - the central location is amazing, walking distance to all the sites. The photos on the walls are pretty.
