We stayed one week at the same One Uptown Residence and we had the worst experience in our life. We actually just got back 5 days ago. Our 1st time staying in an AirBnB and probably the last. We arrived on a Saturday and that evening for the first 3 days of our stay the toilet was was clogged. We had to use the lobby and or the gym facility to relieved ourselves. We were moved to a different apt. where the ac was broken in the living room and the bedroom ac was barely cold plus the tv did not have cable (just for display). No more Air BnB for us!

[@MaryelTravels]

Oh no! Did they refund you anything at all? I was stubborn and still stayed in another one for my last trip. It was better smell wise but the internet was not working the whole time. They offered to move me and they also refunded me part of the cost.

This is the first time I’ve come across your channel, Maryel. I’m glad I saw this because I have been hearing comments about Megaworld-made condo units at BGC and Eastwood. The issues you mentioned about the toilet and the space under the kitchen sink (where the grease trap is located) and the general condition or quality per se of the units seem to be a common theme. It’s not a BGC thing, I can be sure of that. I believe you have a niche content that is yours truly. 👍 keep it up.

[@MaryelTravels]

Appreciate that. Thank you so much! Hotels are just sooo expensive sometimes, for a long stay, it definitely dents the budget :(

[@conradcg]

I noticed the washer but no dryer. How do you dry your laundry?

[@NonStopTravelVV]

Yay it’s vicky from the Australian KZbinrs group! And OMG I love your channel and guess what …I want to go to Manila next and your video is perfect! Thank you!

[@MaryelTravels]

Thank you :) Subscribed so I can follow your adventure! Hope you enjoy Manila, anything I can help with, just ask :)

I've stayed in many Airbnb's over the years and always clean/disinfect when I arrive, no matter how it looks. You just never know what the last guest or cleaner did so I feel safer wiping everything down and washing the kitchenware. I stayed in the same building in BGC last year and noticed the sewer smell under the sink too. Otherwise, the unit was pretty good, the staff was helpful and Uptown location was perfect. I cooked and did laundry. Also bought disinfectant, detergent, towels and other items that I left for the next guest.

[@MaryelTravels]

How does that not happen in our apartments but it does there?! Can’t fault the staff, very friendly and lets you leave the luggage too.

[@JoCandelario-k4s]

I'm familiar at the Global City area. I stay about almost 2 weeks in my friend condo unit. not far by walk to SM shopping mall etc. yeah it's nice area. If I visit again to Phil. either Makati nor BGC is my choice area to stay.

[@MaryelTravels]

It is very convenient, isn’t it? Makati is great too, quite accessible as well

[@119jle]

As a wealthy expat in IT Park , it is over priced by $300 US Dollars . I've had better in Cebu for $20 a night

[@kawaiimitchiko7669]

Hi Maryel im a new subscriber here..i like your narration and your Englsh

[@MaryelTravels]

Thank you so much :) I really appreciate that

[@grayerdays]

Do you realize the word "infamous " is a bad thing? I don't think the 3D billboard is infamous, infact it's the first one I've seen.

[@MaryelTravels]

Yes :) It’s a bit of both. First in the country so it attracts a lot of foot traffic which is annoying some people. I personally don’t mind it.

[@dariusslade4953]

Yes! No more Airbnb. Cleaning after others' stay is not my thing.

[@MaryelTravels]

It can be a drag but still a cheaper alternative sometimes. Nothing beats a hotel :)

[@Nomad-XA]

What’s the most upscale area in BGC?

[@MaryelTravels]

Have to check record for sales/average price per condo sold but the closer to High Street, the more convenient. Ones I can think of that are on the expensive side are Shang, Grand Hyatt, Aurelia I believe is up there too. One Serendra, one of the OGs, I’d say is pretty good too.

[@Nomad-XA]

@@MaryelTravels I’m interested in renting a studio, I don’t want to buy

[@MaryelTravels]

@@Nomad-XAif you want something a bit more luxe and upscale, I’d say avoid Megaworld properties and/or go for buildings/properties that don’t allow short-term leases

[@md929]

Why is it infamous?

[@MaryelTravels]

I personally don’t mind it cos I like a good vibe but some find it attracts too much foot traffic

[@OrangeBlossoms59]

Watching your vlog, I noticed that you scratched your face and arm several times. You mention about the smell under the sink, probably, there's molds in there bec of water leak damage. This is the complaints of most condo owners, and the allergens causes your skin to itch. Please research about molds. Its really a health hazard when you inhale it, too, especially if its black molds from water damage.

[@MaryelTravels]

I was too! I noticed that when I was editing the video. Agree, it is quite bad for us.

[@droecasi2342]

"Infamous?" Why? How?

[@MaryelTravels]

Mostly famous, I personally like it but some people find it annoying as it attracts a lot of people

[@arleneauriemma2808]

Wassup with scratching?

[@MaryelTravels]

Yea don’t remember what caused it. I was allergic to something. I always am sadly :(

Want to talk to you about some important mistakes in your KZbin channel. Which is hindering the growth of your KZbin channel.

[@Western-3rdSt.]

Fantastic! A salesman doing cold calls. How much do you charge for your services, young man? And are you licensed.

[@mh_mahmudhasan]

@@Western-3rdSt. Actually mm'am, I have been watching your content for a long time. It is not possible to say in detail here. We can talk directly if you want

@@mh_mahmudhasan I’m only interested to know your mother romantically 😚 ❤❤❤

[@nyknicksable]

I would never pay $100 + a night. They pay their employees $10 a day. The condo buildings there are half empty due to over building and way overpriced. Let’s not forget that most condo rentals there have roaches . The sewer smell is due to poor construction practices. The lack of pea traps is the cause of the sewer smell.

[@MaryelTravels]

Yea looks like anything Megaworld is not good but the nicer ones don’t allow Airbnb rentals so can’t compare sadly

[@grayerdays]

You're are right plumbing in the USA are all built using P Trap for that specific reason.
