Location: Manila, Philippines, Asia (Millennium Plaza - in Manila's HOTTEST Area - Day or Night)
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-4)
COMPLETELY REFURBISHED - TOP TO BOTTOM - AND THE WEAK PESO MEANS LOW PRICES! In the very center of Philippine urban life - the MILLENNIUM PLAZA sits in the heart of the number ONE Manila Business and Financial District - with the Manila Stock Exchange, SIX major air conditioned shopping malls, offering everything from Gucci and Armani, to hand-made Philippine crafts - $1.50 first run Hollywood movies, fantastic upscale eateries and specialty stores, AND the world's major banks. Wow! Hop on a jeepney, or take a romantic horse drawn carriage around historic Intramuros, just minutes away.
Plus, Makati has the hottest nightclub scene in Manila. Makati has it all. When the night falls, the club scene heats up with drinks, dancing, and fantastic entertainment - all for a fraction of what you would pay anywhere else! AND speaking of fractions, our condo is - quite simply - the best value in Manila. Similar suites at surrounding 4 and 5 star hotels are listing at over US$90.00 per night!
Our unit is on the 20th floor, it's quite LARGE AT 55 sq METERS (about 600sq ft) - the size of many two bedroom condos in Manila! It's COMPLETELY RENOVATED from floor to ceiling! New beds, new bathroom, new kitchen, new paint, furniture, everything! It offers a partial city view, and one of the coolest features is going to bed - turning out the lights - and seeing the city spread before you as you recline in our luxurious Queen size bed. It's clean, comfortable, and one of the nicest units in the building - and its location is perfect!
Please remember - Manila is a BIG city - spread out so far that it can easily take 30 minutes or more to get from one end to the other - and while you can't beat the sunsets over the bay in the Malate area - most travelers tell us that they found Makati to have more attractions, shopping, culture and other amenities they were looking for. All these things are just steps away from our condo!
Now for a limited time, we have held down our prices to "pre-dollar devaluation" levels - but our renovations, and the declining dollar will make it necessary to raise prices soon, so book now!
Our unit also comes with optional daily (or weekly) maid service, and parking is available - for a VERY nominal extra fee.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
I'm a "semi-retired" American living in the Philippines. We'd love to introduce you to the many little known secrets of our adopted home.
Why the Owner Chose Manila
Having lived and worked in Asia for more than a decade, I wanted a way that we could introduce people to these lovely islands. At first it was just a project for family and friends - but now we can see that there are so many people coming to Manila - and if we could, we'd love to take care of all of you!
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
The thing is that there are not many "high value" holiday homes in the Philippines. Either you stay at a 5 star resort - and pay hundreds of dollars per night - - or you stay in some dump that's about as big as a van - and sleep with cockroaches, cracked walls, and smelly furniture - and still pay 40 to 60 bucks a night! My wife and I wanted to offer our guests a quality condo suite - at a very reasonalble price. Ours is the most elegant and well appointed condo for the money in Manila - that's why we call it the best hospitality value in the Philippines.
