RitaRating, 5 stars38 months ago

My first day was very tough but that was on me because I checked in way too early, earlier than the normal check in time, the host and the Manager were very kind, patient and understanding, they treated me right! They made sure I was comfortable and had what I needed, they’re more humans than just business. The place is very spacious, comfortable, clean and beautiful, the area is peaceful and quiet we have a security guy whose name is Mohammed that’s always available to help you get things you need to buy, I’ve been moving around using Airbnb because of my current situation and honestly this is the best place I have ever stayed so far, and I’m willing to stay for days or months if I’m allowed

Clean & Cozy 2BR in a secure estate w/ fast Wi-fi

RebeccaRating, 5 stars9 months ago

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. We walked in and felt right at home. The place was exactly as described. Very clean and homely. We actually booked the place just a few hours before check in and the fact that the place was ready instantly speaks volumes. We had booked another place but they did not match what they were advertising so it was good to have Casa ready to help us out. It’s a very great place to stay, we stayed for 10 days, we had no issues and this is our second time staying there. We would definitely come again

It's incredible that I stayed in this estate last December with my family for the holidays, and coincidentally, I ended up booking Mary's place in the same estate again this time. This experience has been even more delightful. The response to any requests was prompt and efficient. My kids had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the services and the cozy, homely atmosphere. I hope i will be this lucky again next time. Thank you so much!

Really lovely host and staff on site. Was very responsive even before check-in and during. The space is exactly like the pictures and all the amenities are as described. There’s constant electricity and WiFi. There were a few times when WiFi service was shaky but the staff were on it and really supportive to resolve it and make the stay as comfortable as possible. There was also regular cleaning of the space. I felt right at home. Would love to stay here again for sure.

Our stay at Saville Row Apartments was fantastic. The security measures ensured a safe and comfortable environment, with 24-hour security in place. We appreciated the uninterrupted power supply provided by the state-of-the-art solar system. Additionally, the apartment offered seamless WiFi connectivity. Istifanus and David, our hosts, were attentive and readily available to assist with any needs. The flat was impeccably maintained and conveniently located near the airport. Overall, it was a wonderful experience at this home away from home. Highly recommended, and we look forward to visiting again.

I would definitely be back to this place. The host was great. It was difficult to get there because it’s a newly estate in a fairly new street, but I felt safe. Chola is my guy!! Very helpful security and management team. They are quick to help you if something goes wrong. Though the area may not have much in short walking distance, you can uber to a near mall called Circle mall which is 5 minutes away or order and live real good. We enjoyed this place and they did us well.

Home away from home This place is top notch and quality. I felt like I was home. A serene location within the chaos of Lagos. Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures. The property manager/host was responsive to any concerns raised (to be honest there were no concerns, more like questions). Cleaning services twice a week and location is quite secure. This is my favorite place I have stayed so far visiting Lagos. I definitely will be booking it again for my next visit. Highly recommend.

Basswood: A blissful experience away from home

GeorgeRating, 5 stars3 months ago

My stay was excellent, seamless, and peaceful. However, they could improve their maintenance culture and ensure a stable internet connection for long-term guests to prevent frequent interruptions. The bellboy was quick and very helpful, the cleaners did a fantastic job, and there was a prompt response to any issues raised.

Me and my family had a lovely stay at the apartment. The host was very attentive and was quick to resolve any queries.
