big fridge multiple channels helpful staff
i really liked the apartment. it featured a big fridge freezer. the tv offered multiple channels. the staff proved very helpful when i wanted to extend my stay.
the dials on the bbq required replacement as their position did not reflect the actual heat setting. it was just a very minor inconvenience.

decent apartment with some issues

spacious apartment functional kitchen convenient location noisy air conditioning bathroom mold dirty pool
The apartment was spacious, offering enough room for everyone. i found a functional kitchen that allowed me to prepare some meals (i love to cook!). the location was quite convenient. It was easy to walk to nearby attractions.
i found the air conditioning units to be quite noisy, which affected my sleep quality. the bathroom had some mold issues that needed attention. the pool, as shown in the pictures, did not match my expectations and was quite dirty.

Spacious Apartment Close to Everything

ample space helpful staff convenient location
The town house had ample space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The staff was very helpful (they answered all my questions). The hotel allows walking to the esplanade, nearby restaurants, markets, and shops. I appreciated this location.
I found the air conditioning unit to be a bit noisy. It made it slightly difficult to fall asleep at first. I got used to it after a few nights, however.
