Bakshi Lovely Haven 3

THE PLACE IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE. IT IS EASY TO BOOK A RIDE IN THE AREA. THERE ARE CONVENIENCE STORE, DRUG STORE, RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA. GENERALLY SAFE LOCATION.

I CAME AROUND 1AM AND WHEN I CAME THE GUARD IS ASKING FOR A "LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION (LOA)" SO I MESSAGE THE PERSON WHOM THE HOST PROVIDED. IT WAS THE SAME PERSON WHOM I AM COMMUNICATING SINCE I DEPLANE FROM THE AIRPORT. I HAVE TO CONNECT TO THE WIFI OF THE GUARD AS I STILL DON'T HAVE INTERNET CONNECTION AND THE COMMUNICATION IS BY WHATSAPP ONLY. THEN A NEW NUMBER POP UP TO MY CELLPHONE AND I DIDN'T ANSWER IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHO IT WAS AND THERE IS ALREADY AN OFFICIAL PERSON THE HOST PROVIDED. LATER, THE GUARD TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE "SPA". WHEN THE LOA ARRIVED, IT WAS DATED 25 MAY WHICH IS 4 DAYS EARLIER AND IT WAS NOT PROVIDED TO THE ADMIN OF THE BUILDING. I HAVE TO WAIT AROUND 30 MINUTES FOR IT AND THE TONE OF THE SECOND PERSON WHO PROVIDED THE LOA IS KINDA GRUMPY. THE LAYOUT OF THE SPACE IS THE A/C IS LOCATED IN THE LOUNGE AND COLDNESS OF THE A/C FAILS TO REACH THE BEDROOM. I TURN ON THE FAN TO SUCK THE COLDNESS FROM THE LOUNGE TO THE BEDROOM BUT I DIDN'T GET THE DESIRED RESULT. I ENDED UP SLEEPING IN THE LOUNGE INSTEAD. THE WATER HEATER IS ALSO NOT WORKING. IT IS SIMILAR TO WHAT MY MOTHER IS USING SO I KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IT AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAVE TO SLIDE THE DIAL BUT IT STILL DIDN'T WORK SO I BATH WITH COLD WATER. THE PLACE IS A BIT DUSTY WHEN I CAME. I DID THE DUSTING MYSELF SINCE THE PLACE IS KINDA SMALL ANYWAY. THE LOUNGE CURTAIN AS WELL AS THE SHOWER CURTAIN HAS STAINS IN IT LIKE IT WAS NOT LAUNDRIED FOR A LONG TIME. THE STEAMER IS KINDA TRICKY TO USE SINCE IT REQUIRES A FLAT SURFACE TO STRAIGHTEN CLOTHES. I HAVE TO USE THE CHOPPING BOARD UNFORTUNATELY TO HAVE A FLAT SURFACE. THE WIFI IS ON AND THERE IS A PASSWORD AT THE BACK BUT NOT CORRECT THUS I JUST UNPLUG IT.

Location is superb, near to malls, fast food restaurants and convenience stores, we stayed over for the new year. You can see a lot of fireworks from the room's view facing Pasay City.

Initially the room didn't have any working fan for the first day of our stay, but the host went out of their way to provide a working fan for the rest of our stay as we stayed for almost a week.

Friendly staff. Close to convenient stores, Mall of Asia, restaurants.
