Caroni

The apartment was compact but okay. It has a small balcony with a 'garden view' that was nice to have. The bedroom was tight with the two single beds, but functional. The kitchen is also compact. There is a stove and microwave for cooking and no oven. There is no toaster or coffee maker, but there is a large refrigerator. The living space is tight and the furniture is as dated as the building, with the chair and sofa covered with a towel or sheet for protection. So, the apartments are simple as others have noted. But they are very functional, in a great location, well-kept, very very clean, and have excellent management. Cold water pressure is very good, less so for warm/hot water. My biggest disappointment is that the Internet connection on my side of the building was sad, which caused frustration. In this day and age, poor connectivity is unkind, to say the least. This aside, I would consider staying there again.

We knew we were getting a bargain and to be fair the location is excellent. Rest assured the place is secure. Yes the decor is dated but I was more concerned about it being clean, with hot water - so very happy in that respect. We bought some bug spray from the supermarket which is literally a 2 minute walk from the building and then I was happy.
