Apartahotel carla

Lit confortable !

La toilette

Perfect apartment for the price close to the airport. Communiation on WhatsApp was fast and clear. The lady who checked me in greeted me upon arrival and was very welcoming and kind.I will definitely stay there again.

It was a bit difficult to find, no stores or anything nearby, not a nice neighborhood, owner could not tell me the approximate price of a taxi from the bus terminal to her place.

relatively cheap, close to the airport, close to big supermarket, appartment quite big, parking available inside (for security reasons)

absolutely no promises kept by the owner, nobody speaks any word English, despite informing twice about my arrival time I had problems to get in, terrible bathroom with need of refurbishment and only really cold water, no water at all one morning (!!!), very old and noisy air-conditioning, run down area with unpaved roads and poor people hanging around (for more details see my review dated 29 January 2024)

relatively fair price; close to the airport for overnight stay; safely closed from the public to avoid potential criminal acts so typical for Dominican Republic; the man living there was nice although not speaking English; cleanliness was OK; parking inside possible; friendly cat in the house :-)

nobody spoke single word English; despite having informed the owner twice about my arrival time, I was not able to get into the property for about 20 minutes, there is no bell, no name of the property, no street name, no house number; it took almost 30 minutes to get the correct wi-fi name and password; the house is situated in a very poor area, surely dangerous to walk outside especially after dark; the access road is absolutely poor, full of potholes; there was no hot water in the bathroom (only cold); bathroom looked really poor (see attached photos); one morning there was no water at all, I could not wash myself, wash my teeth, had to go to the airport to wash my face and teeth; air-conditioning very old and extremely noisy; noisy people in the next house; I cannot understand how this property may promote having reached over 9/10 points on Booking.com in 2018 (I dont want to see properties that have 3-4/10 points...) OK, for 25 USD per night I do not expect any luxury, but this kind of bathroom and not having water at all is really too much... And to have an owner who cannot talk any single English word, replies only "OK" and when I inform her about exact arrival time she does not arrange that I can get into the house immediately and not have to stand on the dangerous road for 20 minutes in the dark!

Great location for the airport. Quiet safe neighborhood. Good internet. AC and fan. Nice and helpful hosts.
