Property has alot of amenities in walking distance which is great. The only dislike is the elevator wait times going up and going down. You have to be very patient to get on an elevator here. Other than that, no complaints.

The property is great with restaurants and small grocery inside. The lobby is well decorated but it can be crowded depending on the day and time of the day. It’s safe with guards 24/7. The room I stayed at is just ok. Need to have a better shower curtain as water can get through all over the tiny bathroom. Air conditioning is the best part plus the refrigerator and microwave is very useful though the stove barely worked so if you need to cook, this might not work. Overall the space is fine for one person maybe two and/or a small child. Netflix is available.

A good and quiet appartment with the necessary needs. Its a big building with 60 floors and around 60 appartments per floor so it can be a little loud in the hallway. Depends on the neighbours. Some of the items in the room need to be fixed. I shared that with the owner who will take care of it. The residence looks clean and the staff is polite and friendly. The elevator is a little warm because there is no airco inside I guess. The swimming pool is nice but more for kids because it is mostly undeep water. The environment around the pool looks pretty by the way. I didnt pay for the fee (150 pesos per day) which I think is the reason most people don't come there. In general a good place to stay. The location is great and next too a mall, supermarket and restaurants. Also nearby many sightseeing places in Manila, you can reach by walk or taxi (which is cheap in The Philippines). The traffic around the building is crowded but acceptable. On a higher floor you dont hear it so much in the room. It didnt bothered me anyway. The check in and out is different than normal but not difficult if you follow the instructions you get by email or in the chat. Everyone is helpfull and friendly. If i come back to the Philippines I might consider to stay at The Air Residences again. Thanks for a good vacation!

The room is clean and the Internet speed is very fast! And Netflix. It's really relaxing to watch a movie after taking a shower.

Of the unit was clean, but I was quite disappointed that I had been given the impression it had Netflix and it had absolutely nothing at all basically a very nice TV with nothing to watch but YouTube. But the unit was clean and it has a fairly good location overall on a five stars that probably give it 3.5

It was very unpleasant walking in. When we walked in the unit smelled of fish and the washroom smelled like sewage. The unit is nice and the owner was very help and accommodating because we had to switch to a different unit. Very noisy though and you can hear people from upstairs or in the units beside you. Good if you’re only staying for a day or two.

Unfortunately the room was much smaller then expected. The showerhad mold and cockroaches see photos. Also, the futon bed was broken prior to our arrival and an attempted repair with plastic bags tying the pull out portion of the bed. Overall poor maintenance and very disappointed wouldn't recommend this to anyone and doesn't meet the standards of the building the room space occupies.

Roaches crawling around within the first 5 minutes of arriving at this condo. Door code worked for the first few hours but then after leaving the room for food, we had request an updated door code. Room is very very small. We had 3 adults and 1 child and couldnt move around at the same time. The pictures are deceiving, its a thin room. Much like a large walk in closet. The netflix wouldnt work and had to message in to get that fixed, it took multiple times hours apart. The wifi internet is worthlessly slow and nothing but a headache. Unless you like roaches, go to a hotel.
