This small apartment was close to the beach in Hulhumale residential area (not the original old Male island), and gave an opportunity to know part of the current-day Hulhumale culture. Each of the two rooms had an independent bathroom.making it perfect for travelling friends. With some additional planning and renovation, this apartment has increased potential. The general cleanliness of the bedroom and apartment was pleasing. A small local market was close , enabling access to Maldivian 'take-away' and introduction to local culture and foods. The local beach provides lovely stretch to walk;swimming is permitted in long shorts and long sleeve top as this is a Muslim community.

The owner of this private listing made an attempt to connect for convenient transference of information via whatsapp, although sometimes information was confusing..like car pick up, how you enter building tower complex to find the apartment, necessity to to pay further money (car pick up and recent increase in country Green Tax). The apartment appears to have undergone recent renovations, with tools and construction equipment strewn behind cloth curtains in kitchenette, crockery & cutlery left stored in dish rack on sink top and kitchen cabinets permanently closed with boards screwed in place. The advertised washer was stored on an open balcony, and with Maldives warm and rainy climate -the washer was unusable-mouldy smelling and dirty door-rim. The advertised 'sound-proof ' walls were not so, with sounds from neighbouring apartment and mechanism of the very close elevator constantly sounding. Beds were not made up with top and bottom sheet, which meant person's body is in contact with same blankets as previous customer. While I am familiar with the type of cook-top, both my travel partner and I could not get it to turn on, and there were no instructions. The shower room is all in one -so toilet gets wet while showering - All in all this apartment did not quite meet expectations, therefore, not value for money.

Wir waren für eine Nacht mit 6 Personen hier. Kleines Wohnzimmer mit TV vorhanden. Zwei Schlafräume mit ausreichend bequemen Betten vorhanden. Küche gut ausgestattet. Sogar zwei Bäder. Balkon vorhanden mit toller Aussicht. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direkt um die Ecke. Sehr netter Kontakt mit dem Host. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Una buona soluzione per una notte a Male,host molto disponibile e gentile ha organizzato il nostro viaggio dal porto all’appartamento e il giorno successivo all’aeroporto..si può vivere l’atmosfera locale.

La collocazione dell’appartamento al 24 piano, la mancanza di set di cortesia e asciugacapelli.

1 - During the second day of my stay, the host called me and "advised" me to leave the apartment at 10h00, pretending that the airport is very busy. The guy wants me to go to the airport 5 hours prior to my flight!! It was a total lie, he just wanted to get the apartment early 2 - The apartment was not cleaned enough: rotten eggs in the fridge, fortunately we didn't gave them to our kids, dirty sheets in a basket, did not even dare to remove them 3 - The property is at the extreme north of the Hulhumale, in a new residential area of many many buldings, nothing nearby and NOT suitable for tourists at all
