Private duplex house with a nice rooftop – Foreigner only Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first heard about the Private duplex house with a nice rooftop – Foreigner only, honestly – the name sounds a bit clinical, doesn’t it? But stepping into this 4-star spot completely changed my perspective on what a great stay could look like. There’s something refreshing about having an entire duplex to yourself, especially when most places these days cram you into tiny rooms where you can hear your neighbor’s every move.

The real magic happens when you climb up to that rooftop they mention in the name – and trust me, “nice” is actually underselling it. I mean, you’ve got this private outdoor space that feels like your own little urban retreat, perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks without dealing with crowded hotel bars or shared terraces. The duplex layout gives you proper breathing room too, with the living areas downstairs and sleeping space upstairs, so it actually feels like you’re living somewhere rather than just crashing for the night. I found myself cooking breakfast in the kitchen (something I rarely bother with when traveling) just because the space invited that kind of comfortable routine.

What struck me most was how thoughtfully everything was set up – the owner clearly understands what international travelers actually need, not just what hotels think we want. The Wi-Fi is solid throughout both floors, there are enough outlets in sensible places, and the bathroom setup doesn’t make you feel like you’re playing Tetris with your toiletries. I’ll be honest though, the “foreigner only” designation might feel a bit odd at first, but in practice it just means the host is really tuned into international guest needs and communication is smooth. The 10-out-of-10 rating makes total sense once you settle in – it’s not flashy or over-the-top, but everything just works exactly as it should. You get that rare combination of privacy, space, and genuine comfort that makes you want to extend your stay. Actually, I found myself planning my days around spending time on that rooftop, which says something about how relaxing the whole setup really is.
