Reviewed Mar 1, 2025The apartment itself was tastefully furnished and clean, with all the crockery etc you will expect.
1) The convoluted security involved each time you enter or and exit the complex. 2) The property claims to be air-conditioned but it is not. I put this to the owner who admitted that the property is not air-conditioned. I asked him how he wished to resolve the matter, he offered no solution and asked me to make a formal complaint to booking.com. I did. The owner had 48 hours to respond to my complaint and he took his time only to make no concession. Eventually, Booking.com gave me a partial refund as a goodwill gesture. It’s been over 10 days since I checked out and the listing still claims it is air-conditioned. This cynical misrepresentation and blatant lie is shocking. I will not return here and I do not recommend this unit or the owner.
