From
United KingdomThe property is managed by a scammer and a liar. He lied that the electricity was topped up with 200 cedis. Then when the electricity ran out I paid to top it up three times only to find out he pocketed the money and didn’t put it on the meter at all. I was able to confront him and view the meter myself which confirmed my suspicions. He was also very unprofessional and flirtatious.
If you were to charge for electricity that’s fine but it should be written in the booking. It was a ploy to take advantage of a young foreign woman they thought would be naive not knowing I had family around to confirm the suspicions I had.
I also called to complain and the booking manager was coming up with a contradictory story in a panic. Saying he would get me a receipt even though the housing manager told me there were no receipts. Both are liars.
I didn’t use the appliances like the AC, blender, washing machine and stove at first in case that took electricity which doesn’t seem fair if others in the compound are using them. Then I started to use it freely after realising they were scamming and lo and behold the light never ran out after that.
Poor plumbing at times kitchen sink and bathroom sink the water first runs brown before running clear. Toilet doesn’t flush at times. Shower was fine after the first day.
Pros: Nicely simply decorated apartment. Private, Free Wi-Fi. Area is quite simple and safe to navigate, although some taxis (bolt/uber). will refuse to come to the area if you’re coming back from central Accra.
I liked that there’s a small balcony, and the apartment is well furnished with pots and pans, blender. And the mosquito nets seem to be fitted well I rarely got bitten.
