    I liked the style of the apartments very much. The size was enough for me but might be a little tight for more than 1 person.

    The bed linens were really stained.

    The location was great. Just a few meters from the beach. It's also a good location to make a trip to the crocodile bridge. The Check-in was really straight forward. The bathroom and the small kitchen was clean and from the balcony we saw some parrots passing by.

    We didn't know the room was a container. There is no window in the room which causes a lack of ventilation, a bad smell and honestly you don't want to cook in a closed space where all the steam and smell stays.. The parking lot itself is small and not really suitable for more than three cars, barely. Another personal point, there is really no one working there.. There is the woman who is responsible for cleaning and most of the conversation and explanation took place with her. However, she only speaks Spanish and we don't at all. Personally, I was annoyed to meet the hotel manager only once, when he asked me to move the car in the parking lot.

    The location of the property is very good, near to anything you need. Also we like that the kitchen has a lot of cooking utensils. The bed also was clean and comfy

    Small/tiny space, the hanging bridge to get to my room - it's a nice idea, but hard to execute with your hands full

    Balcony, shipping container design/idea, airflow of the twin slider window/doors. I could appreciate the hot water

    Think the owner needs to check his complex better lots of part bad and snobby in the apartment. Clean but I think it was better some day.

    Private and close to the beach. The complementary dog that keeps you awake is only for dog lovers.

    Due to queen sized bed ( which we asked for) rooms were only big enough for backpacker type of traveller, which is ok. We didnt expect it to be bigger than a container! . We had a car so we stashed our stuff and luggage in the trunk of our car which was parked safely inside a gate.

    Cool container village concept. Friendly helpful owner

    I don't think it was good value overall. Should it be that a few little applicances (very small oven, and very small hot skillet, microwave) and a fridge add $35 to the price ? The first sea-can I was in was a decent size but the shower didn't work and the mirror wasn't in place, so the bathroom taps collided with the mirror when turned. And, the mirror wasn't useable in that spot. So the second day I was offered another unit. The second unit was cramped, in terms of using the "kitchen" facilities. For the price, I believe the sheets should have been crisper and white.

    It's kind of funky, being built out of sea-cans. There was a service to pickup laundry and deliver back. Timely service in a hurry, $15. They moved me to another sea-can when there were issues with the first. The A/C worked well thankfully.

    It was a nice experience sleeping in a sea container. Space is a bit narrow, but we already expected that. The location is close to the beach and the city centre. The owner was very friendly.

    Everything as advertised-cold ac, warm shower, close to the beach.

    There is no reception just a maid that is there or not. Also there needs to be more room for placing clothes perhaps a drawer under the bed would be sufficient

    Great location right near the beach I never stayed in a shipping container but it was designed very well with great use of space the balcony was very nice

    Nothing really

    This property is very quirky and worth spending a couple of nights at least. A quiet but accessible part of town and very close to the beach. The small but functional cooking area had all the basic stuff. A great new experience for us. Nice communal seating area down stairs.

    Well appointed, clean and comfortable, tinyhome-style space with very kind hosts.
