  : The apartment is located directly across the street from the hospital, which was the sole reason for our visit. It was convenient to have a restaurant right there and the lunch we had there was decent and priced very moderately. Parking was free and conveniently located directly behind the building. There is grocery store on the ground floor of the building, also very convenient. The property itself was clean.
  : The surrounding area is quite distressed. The city is recovering from a catastrophic earthquake and the damage is still visible. This is not an area where you can enjoy a nice walk. The accommodations were extremely basic. There were beds, bedding, towels, TV (at times no signal), small dining table and chairs, a small sofa, several dressers, an armoire. Miniature kitchenette. No small spoons to stir your coffee. No toiletries in the bathroom except a hand soap. No mosquito nets on the windows, so you couldn't open them because of the mosquito infestation. No blackout curtains on the windows, so you wake up at dawn. Thin walls, you go to sleep when the neighbors decide to stop making noise. The beds were single, very short (even for me, let alone my 6-ft husband) and not very comfortable, especially the pillows, which were hard and lumpy. The only reason we stayed there was the location because we were visiting someone at the hospital. We actually cut our stay short by one night because we managed to see our loved one and had no desire to stay another night since we did not sleep well the first night. So we decided to forego the prepaid night and return home instead. Comment for Booking.com: this listing contained a bunch of pictures from four different appartments at Bokun II. I really don't like that because you don't know which property you will end up with. We were placed in a property that we did not reserve (a two-bedroom), so it didn't look anything like the property we reserved.
