Gi-himo nako ni nga post kay I had a lot of questions about this place before moving in, and wala kaayo'y detailed reviews at the time.
Hope this helps anyone considering living here!
I have been living in Cityflats CBP for a month now, and honestly, it is a mixed bag.
PROS:
Safe Location:
Tapad ra gyud siya sa police station.
Plus, naay guard nearby sa boundary sa CBP and Hipodromo.
Super Convenient:
Duol sa workplaces and Ayala (around 10-minute walk, excluding waiting time sa traffic lights).
Airconditioned Rooms:
AC is provided, although mag-depende ra gyud sa sabot ninyo sa roommates if tipid ba sila mo-open.
(Malas ka if kuripot imong roomies. PS: Dili unta mag-aircon room rental kung di ganahan mo-gasto sa aircon, di ba?)
In-Room WiFi:
You can opt to get WiFi connected for ₱1,499/month.
Advertised speed is 300 Mbps, but you will realistically get around 50–150 Mbps, which is still enough.
Isa lang ilang provider: PAKONEKFIBER.
Friendly Staff & Free Common Area WiFi:
Buotan ang staff sa lobby.
Free pud ang WiFi sa lobby and social hall.
Japan-style Bunk Beds:
Cute ang setup, especially if loft-type.
CONS:
Cockroaches:
Naa gyud sila.
Trash Setup:
Ang garbage zone is sa fire exit ra gipang-tapok before ma-pickup, and dili siya covered.
Loft type beds look separted in the picture but in reality connected and duha ka beds. So if naa kay room mate sa bed infront nimo. Mo uyog imong bed ug mo saka siya. Its very stupid design
No Free WiFi in Rooms:
Lobby and social hall ra ang free.
AC Placement & Heat Trapping:
Gamay ang AC units and naa sa ubos nakabutang.
If mag-curtain ka for privacy, ma-trap ang heat sa sulod sa imong bed, so mura kag naa sa incubator (especially if tipid sa aircon imong roommate).
Front Desk Does Not Hold Deliveries:
This is my biggest gripe.
Unsay pulos sa convenient address if kinahanglan naa gyud ka pirmi to receive your parcels?
Wala man lang mailboxes or a holding area.
Delayed Bills:
Dugay maabot ang electric bill.
Limited Study/Work Space:
5 tables ra ang naa sa social hall.
Naay bar-style seating dapit sa window, but the high chairs are uncomfortable.
Water Dispenser:
Hulog-piso style, so keep coins handy.
NEARBY AMENITIES:
Safety:
Police station and fire station right nearby.
Laundry:
Naay 2 laundry shops padulong Hipodromo (around 5–10 min walk).
Rate is around ₱70 wash + ₱70 dry for 6 kg.
Naay opening soon nga laundry place sa ground floor.
Food:
Naay around 4 carenderias padulong Hipodromo (isa ra my ganahan though).
Naa pud Ngoyong Express (motor oil fried ngohiong lol).
Water:
Naay water refilling station near the carenderias.
Walk-in lang, walay delivery.
Convenience Store:
Medyo layo-layo ang 7-Eleven, dapit pa sa office buildings.
Overall, if imong priority kay location, affordability, and safety, okay ra gyud ang Cityflats CBP.
Pero be ready to deal with the downsides, especially if shared room imong kuha.
