Bring your earplugs!
We stayed in this unit for two weeks. It was okay but there were a few things that could make it a better stay. The owners aren’t close by and things are not being maintained. The entire apartment needs a good deep clean, not just surface cleaned between bookings. We found a greasy dirty cookie sheet in the oven from the last guests and what looked like dried spaghetti sauce all over the Venetian blinds on the patio. When we arrived, there wasn’t even a bar of soap in the bathroom. One roll of toilet paper. Most rentals have a welcome package of a few items to get you started. This place was bare bones at best. The shower drain was clogged and we were standing in 3-4 inches of water. They did send someone to fix it, however that took two days. The fan in the bedroom has only one speed…Ultra fast which is very noisy for sleeping. A new fan is definitely needed. The way the units are set up, your neighbours bathroom is right next to your bathroom and bedroom. We were unlucky enough to have extremely loud neighbours who kept us awake a good portion of the night with gross hacking sounds. And being on the ground floor the taxis would fly by your bedroom window at all hours. People walking down the hall at midnight were loud even though it’s supposed to be quiet after a certain hour. The front desk staff do nothing to keep people quiet or keep the taxis from speeding into the parking lot. I used earplugs the entire time and it barely helped. There is no wifi in this apartment either which was not handy at all. The wifi in the lobby doesn’t work very well and was a pain every time you wanted to use the Internet. I was not able to send emails the entire trip no matter what wifi network I tried in the building. There is also no screen on the sliding door so you had to keep it closed so mosquitoes didn’t get in. We loved Goldenview itself, but would rent a different unit next time.
