Pros:

The place was centraly located, great value and clean. I didn't like that the room was ready but the owner will not let you access before 3:00pm. I was there with other and they were able to access their room but my wife and I had to sit outside for an hour for no reason.

Pros:

Room was comfortable. This was my second time staying here so I kinda knew what to expect. Location is on the ground floor which is nice. Keyless entry and also has housekeeping services. Shower is a little small but all in all room is a great stay for single or 2 people.

Pros:

First the check in process was easy. However, I had to wait to get wifi information which was a bit of an inconvenience as a foreigner trying to stay connected. Upon arrival, the apartment was covered with red ants crawling everywhere. They say it was from the recent rain and they would come to spray. My local boyfriend came to the room and pulled out all the furniture to sweep. He shook the dusty covers from the bed and more ants. We later found that dishes were put away dirty inside the cupboard. The pillows are not clean.
The housekeeper said she puts them in the sun but does not wash the pillows. Only puts on clean pillow cases. They were gross with old drool from previous guests. Bring your own pillows! Also, only one set of towels per guest. Would be great to provide extra towels and sheets.

Pros:

Staff didn’t have any records of my booking. Then had to contact the owner. Had issues getting the power on in the unit, and had to wait to get the Wi-Fi code some days after. The lock also posed somewhat of a challenge.
