Just okay
Came to work for the week with 2 friends, and the water was hot, the shower pressure was decent, and the apartment was clean. Evelyn, the housekeeper who handled check in was friendly. However, we experienced issues with lights, computer chairs, the front gate lock and the refrigerator during our stay, and they were all known issues getting bandaid-type fixes.
The apartment got very hot and stuffy at night, even with the provided fans in each bedroom. Opening the front door helped a lot with cooling the apartment down, but tons of mosquitoes came in, forcing us to close the door. Installing a screen could help with this.
The location of this property was about a 10-15 minute walk to Centro. The street was quiet during the day, but nights were incredibly loud with a neighbor's dog barking and karaoke parties at the hotel next door. Sensitive sleepers beware; our earplugs could not drown out the the sound fully.
At first the wifi was great, but on the 3rd day the wifi assigned to Depa Gaia kept going in/out, making Zoom calls impossible. We eventually had to go to coffee shops or use our cellphones as hotspots because even the other wifi's on the property had issues. This continued for the rest of our stay. (And just fyi, the listing says the wifi speed is 300 mbps but I did a speed test and it was consistently 60 mbps—when the wifi worked, that is.)
Overall, it's an okay place for a short-term stay. But I would not stay longer than a few days.
