Sewa Apartments Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “Sewa Apartments,” I wasn’t expecting much. The name’s pretty straightforward, no fancy branding or anything, but you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want. This turned out to be one of those hidden gems that locals probably know about but doesn’t show up on every tourist’s radar.

The thing about Sewa Apartments is that it feels more like staying at a well-organized friend’s place than a typical hotel. I mean, sure, it’s technically a 3-star property, but whoever’s running this place really gets what travelers actually need. The apartments themselves are properly set up – and I’m talking about having a real kitchen you can actually cook in, not just a mini-fridge and a sad little coffee maker. The Wi-Fi actually works (thank god), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase for your entire stay. What really impressed me was how quiet it gets at night – you know how some places have paper-thin walls where you hear every conversation from the next room? Not here. I actually got some decent sleep, which honestly makes or breaks a trip for me.

The staff there… well, they’re not going to overwhelm you with over-the-top service, but they know their stuff. When I needed directions, they gave me the kind of local shortcuts that actually save time, not just the obvious tourist routes. And here’s a small thing that matters – they were pretty flexible about check-in times. I arrived earlier than expected (flight got in sooner than planned), and instead of making me wait around with my luggage, they just sorted it out. The whole vibe is refreshingly low-key but efficient. I suppose the only minor thing is that housekeeping isn’t daily unless you ask for it, but honestly, when you’re staying somewhere with a proper kitchen and living space, you don’t really need someone coming in every day anyway. The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does, it does really well. If you’re the type who values having your own space and doesn’t need a concierge or fancy lobby, this place delivers exactly what you’re looking for without any of the unnecessary fuss.

    Great location – right in the center. Host is very helpful and communicative. separate/private room for parents with children.

  • Debs from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great location within the old town but set back from the street making it calm and quiet. Good facilities although we didn’t use tv or cooking facilities, only washed and slept in the apt as we had a very busy itinerary.
