We were informed that the unit that we booked had no electricity and gas for 2 days. So the property owner provided us with another unit which was a 2 bedrooms apartment about 10 minutes away. The unit is bigger, spacious, contemporary with full amenities and functional kitchen. The bed and pillows are soft and comfortable. The property owner checked us in and ran through the kitchen appliances with my wife. She and her daughter are very nice and helpful throughout our 2 nights stay. If you are in Bishkek, you should stay at her place unless the dates are not available, then you may wish to search for other alternatives.

Simply Nothing.

The place maybe small but it is just nice for 2 travelers. The property is well kept, cosy with contemporary settings, furnitures and colors. It is a fully functional home away from home with a full fledge kitchen appliances and utensils. The toilet has a bidet as well. The host may initially take a while to respond via the booking.com messaging but via WhatsApp is something else. The property owner daughter writes well in English and in Kyrgyzstan, language is a life saver. The property building facade may look a bit old but the unit itself is something else.

Nothing

В квартире есть все необходимое для длительного проживания.

The property was in a good, clean condition.

This property was not advertised as having air-con, so that is something to bear in mind during the peak summer months, as the apartment gets very hot. The property is unusual in that it requires a 2000 som cash deposit to be paid on arrival. This is then refunded upon checkout, subject to requirements. We agreed a checkout time of 9:30 AM with the landlord on the day that we arrived so that we could get to Manas airport in time for our flight. On the morning of departure, the landlord told us she had only just woken up at 9:30 and would arrive in around 20 minutes. They tried to argue that we hadn't agreed a checkout time with them, even though this was agreed and confirmed three times on arrival. We did not appreciate this cheeky attitude, as we had to cancel our taxi. The landlord also asked us to bring in the washing before we went to bed. As there was limited drying space, it meant we could not wash and dry our own clothes on the first day. The washing facility was a key reason for booking this apartment. A bit disappointed, but can be easily fixed with better communication between staff.
