The apartment was old and not in nearly as nice of condition as the photo's indicated. We rented two apartments for our month in Chiang Mai and one of the bathrooms had a moldy shower curtain (408). The door in (1305D) was nearly falling off so security was questionable.
On several occasions the room was entered by someone without any prior notice and on 2 occasions, the management arrived to 'show' the apartment without previous notice. This was not only inconvenient and infringing on my privacy, but alarming due to the amount of electronics that I travel with and generally don't lock up when I leave.
From a 'value' standpoint, it's important to note that utilities/water are not included and although the estimated cost is listed on the listing....it wasn't anywhere close to the actual cost! I had an estimate of 200-300 thb for electric and it was actually over 6K bht (per room) for the month. In addition, I was confronted after 16 days to pay for the electric/water instead of at the end of the month. (and expected to pay right the and there - I don't keep a lot of local cash on me so this was very inconvenient). More clarity on this would have been greatly appreciated. In the end...had I known that the utilities were going to cost nearly as much as the apartment rental, I would have chosen somewhere else.
