Contento Apartments

The apartment is quite small but the arrangement of furniture makes it feel bigger. For that it´s so small, it is extremely well equipped. Anything a traveler needs is right there. The apartment is located in the lower part of the city which is more congested and hence the living quality (especially fresh air) is a little less than elsewhere. Given that, I think the price could be a little lower. Also, it is located on the ground floor, so the view is a bit disappointing (compared to many other places in Almaty that have stunning mountain views). To prevent people from watching you inside the apartment, the host found a brilliant solution: a second curtain inside the room so that one can leave the window open and lights on without everyone watching you. Many apartments in Kazakhstan now have full video surveillance: a face scanner when you enter the living complex, another camera when entering the building block and yet another camera in front of the apartment door). Honestly speaking, so much surveillance makes me rather feel uneasy as I found Kazakhstan to be a relatively safe place (even before cameras were installed everywhere). I personally don´t like to have every single step watched and my face scanned whenever I enter a living complex. If you´re not there for the views and fresh air but for convenience, I can highly recommend staying there! Communication with the host (in English) was pleasant and straight-forward.

The toilet and shower make a strange noise. At first, I thought something was broken but then I realized that this was normal. People are smoking in front of the building :(

Комфорт и расположение

Понравилось все, единственное уборку и смену белья не меняли пока мы проживали

Очень чисто, удобно и комфортно. Есть все условия. Администратор всегда вовремя и вежливо отвечает.

Hands down - this is my favorite apartment that i ever booked through this platform here. You can feel how much effort the host is putting into it - very nice furniture, good quality items wherever you look, a lot of attention to details. On top, it was clean, the location is nice, the key handover and information very easy.

The fact that i didnt book it for more nights. Everything else is just 10/10.
