8/10 Very good
I wish we could leave 4.5 stars. Anywho, per usual, I like to leave a disclaimer. If you are looking for a luxury apartment or luxury accommodations, do not book here. This is more like an Air BnB type of vibe. With that said, here's my breakdown.
Apartment: 4.5 - I only give it a 4.5 because it's a LITTLE dated, but the apartment was clean. There were plenty of towels. They provided me with 2 bottles of water and earplugs. It was a VERY spacious place, and the bed was comfortable. The shower could use a BIT more water pressure in my unit, but the water got very hot, so my showers were steamy.
Location: 5 IF YOU ARE A LIGHT SLEEPER OR LIKE TO GO TO SLEEP EARLY DO NOT BOOK HERE. The apartment is on top of bars and clubs, and they play very loud music until about 2 am. Kasa does provide you with earplugs, but the rumble will keep you up. I tend to go to sleep around 2 am. anyway, so this didn't bother me.
Outside of the late night noise, the location is prime. It's walking distance to both major train and bus lines. 15 minutes to the airport by public transit. There are so many good restaurants nearby that you can walk to. It isn't super close to the beach, but you can get to the beach via public transit or Uber fairly easily as well.
This is ultimately an apartment building with no doorman. The building itself is not luxury, and it's positioned in between two bars. When you walk in, it's pretty basic and feels a little old, but once you get to the apartment, it's nice. Check-in is super easy as well. If you aren't uppity and/or you know how to enjoy life if things aren't "new and shiny," then you will enjoy staying here. If you can only enjoy yourself, if your accommodations look like Hotel 1 or a high-rise condo, don't stay here. Hope this helps!
