Twospaces Living at Arda Homes Seruni Syariah, Yogyakarta

We checked in for two days, but the water was shut off on the second day before checkout. What was that about? The room also felt really creepy.

The room is very spacious, and the monthly electricity allowance is 250 thousand. The TV is basic cable with very few channels. But the building is a bit old, and the water is dirty, with worms in it. You can even see them when you get drinking water from the kitchen dispenser. The gas water heater seems to be broken most of the time, and there’s no way to adjust the temperature. When it does turn on, the water is extremely hot. Wifi doesn’t reach every room, either. For these facilities, the price is too high. In the past, the person in charge often added extra charges to the boarding bill. Hopefully that doesn’t happen anymore.

The wifi is terrible, and there’s no signal in the room. The landlady asked me to pay 300k to install wifi in front of the room, even though the connection is shared with other residents. I’m also unhappy that the boarding house’s water dispenser is only for employees, not residents. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

My little sister’s boarding house has a big room with cold AC, a refrigerator, and a balcony or drying area behind the room. The bathroom is big too, really nice! There’s a guard and full CCTV coverage, and the parking feels safe haha.
