Wonderful

Easy to find. It is off the main road and onto alley way. You can access short cuts from multiple side streets. Place is immaculate clean tidy has everything you need. Close to cafes, minimart some restaurants.
Things to note….when you book you need to contact them. Don’t wait for instructions to be sent to you. Contact through whats app. Because there is a gate and to get in then there is a code and to enter your room is different code and to get out of the gate is another code. You get the hang of it while you’re there but can be overwhelming when trying to understand where everything is.

The phone number they have listed goes to another hotel which have no idea about reservation for urchin hotel. Very confusing. Urchin contacts me after I try many hours trying to get a hold of them through the app. They give me check in directions. Property is located 150 meters in the alley. Car can not fit. Need to walk. Only provides 1 towel. Mold on ceiling.
Loved the my stay over here. All the staff are very accomodating and pleasant. The apartment is very beautiful with all eminities and the view is an added advantage❤️ Looking forward to comeback especially with my family.
Its really nice apartment with garden, roof top with lakeview. Large and very modern
I like it because of spacious and furniture.
The place is also good- 1 mins walk to the lake and many shops surrounding!
Highly recommended!
