Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is REDLiving Apartemen LoftVilles City – Pelangi Rooms, Tangerang, Indonesia, the messed-up travel edition. Get ready for chaos, questionable choices, and a whole lotta "oops."
Day 1: Jakarta Arrival & Tangerang Tango (aka, Jet Lag vs. My Sanity)
- Morning (Bleary-Eyed Arrival): Landed in Jakarta. Airport was a whirlwind of people. I swear, I saw a guy selling durian (the stinky fruit) inside the airport. Pure chaos, I tell you. Grabbed my bag (which, by the way, felt suspiciously heavier than it should). Attempted to navigate through the crowd towards the pre-booked airport transfer (shoutout to my past-self for that small win).
- Mid-morning (The Transfer of Doom): The driver? Let's just say his navigation skills were…unique. Google Maps and him had a serious disagreement. We eventually zigzagged our way to Tangerang, the landscape a blur of motorbikes, vibrant billboards, and a relentless sun. It was hot. So. Damn. Hot.
- Afternoon (REDLiving Roulette): Finally, REDLiving! The lobby looked promising. Check-in was relatively painless. Found my room, Pelangi Rooms. It was fine. Perfectly functional. The AC, bless its heart, was struggling. And the view? Pretty much just another building. But, hey, I had a bed, so I was winning. Briefly.
- Late Afternoon (Culinary Courage and Instant Noodles): Was feeling brave, so I went out to find food. Ended up at a warung (local eatery) nearby. Ordered something the menu just called "Nasi Goreng" (rice fried with meat and vegetables), which was delicious and cheap. But after an hour, the Jet lag hit me hard. Went back to my room and ate two packets of instant noodles while staring at the wall.
Day 2: Mall Mayhem & Cultural Clashes (and Bad Decisions)
- Morning (Mall Mania): Decided to embrace the modern world and head to a massive shopping mall. It was…overwhelming. Designer brands, local shops, a huge food court, and a rollercoaster of sensory overload. I got lost. Multiple times. My budget took a hit. Ended up buying a weirdly shaped hat I'll never wear. Don't ask.
- Mid-morning (Bargaining Battle): Attempted to bargain for a souvenir. Failed miserably. I'm terrible at haggling. Paid way too much for a batik scarf. At least it's pretty, I guess?
- Afternoon (The Cultural Encounter…gone wrong): Tried to be cultured and visit a local museum. Turns out there was construction, and it was closed. I wandered the block, lost and frustrated. The heat was making me grumpy. Ended up just sitting on a bench, watching the world go by. Saw a man ride past on a motorcycle with a chicken perched on his shoulder. This place, I swear.
- Late Afternoon (The Regret of the "Street Food"): The hunger hit. The tempting aromas from the street food vendors were too strong to resist. Ate something spicy. Regretted it. Immediately. My stomach and I had a screaming match.
Day 3: Water Fun (or, Water Disaster)
- Morning (Waterpark Wonder - or Misery): Some research claimed there was a water park nearby. I decided to "embrace" it, and went. It promised a "magical" day. Reality was… the pool was slightly cloudy. The slides, not very impressive. Kids were everywhere, screaming and splashing. Found a quiet spot. Wasted the entire day on one single, slightly disappointing ride.
- Afternoon (Recovery Mode and Room Service): After the waterpark fun, I needed a detox. Back to the room. Ordered Indonesian food. It was bland, but at least edible. The best part? The AC. Praise the AC gods.
- Late Afternoon (Sunset Stroll and Reflections): Strolled the grounds. Watched the sunset. Beautiful light. I remembered, not everything was terrible. I'm here, breathing, alive.
Day 4: Jakarta Day Trip (or Jakarta Dread – it’s a coin flip)
- Morning (The Jakarta Jam): Decided to brave a day trip to Jakarta, because why not fully traumatize myself? Transportation? The traffic was…legendary. I think I aged five years just in the commute.
- Mid-morning (Monas and My Disappointment): Went to Monas (National Monument), a towering structure. Impressive. But the surrounding park was packed. I wasn't the only one who'd had this brilliant idea. Lost my patience.
- Afternoon (Historical District Hopelessness): Tried to see the historical district (Kota Tua). It was nice, I guess. So hot. So crowded. My energy levels were plummeting.
- Late Afternoon (Jakarta Escape Plan): Back to Tangerang and my safe space - the air-conditioned room. Ordered a pizza. Best decision ever.
Day 5: Departure & Lingering Doubts (aka, Did I Actually Enjoy Myself?)
- Morning (The Packing Panic): Packing. Found the hat. Still don't know why I bought it. Tried to cram everything back into my suitcase. Failed.
- Mid-morning (Last-Minute Scramble): One last attempt to find a decent souvenir. Failed.
- Afternoon (Goodbye, Tangerang?): Called for my airport transfer. This time, the driver was even WORSE! The drive was long and stressful. Arrived at the airport. Boarding.
- Departure/Reflection: On the plane, as I gazed upon the clouds, I thought. Did I enjoy Tangerang? Maybe? Parts of it, definitely. It wasn't perfect, but it was an experience. A messy, chaotic, sweat-inducing experience. But hey, that’s life, right? And at least I have stories to tell (and a wardrobe that's now slightly more…colorful). Would I go back? Probably not. But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything (except maybe a lifetime supply of air conditioning).
Pelangi Rooms @ RedLiving LoftVilles: The REAL Scoop (and My Messy Thoughts!)
Okay, first things first: Is Pelangi Rooms at LoftVilles ACTUALLY "hot"? Like, is this hype real?
Alright, deep breaths... Okay, so "hot" is subjective, right? For me? It's...complicated. Look, the marketing photos? Instagram-perfect. The reality? It's a mixed bag. I'd say it depends on your definition of "hot." If "hot" means stylish, well-located, and relatively affordable in Tangerang? Yeah, maybe. If "hot" means flawless, luxury hotel experience? Absolutely not. My first thought when I walked in? "Woah, this place is REALLY trying to be boujee..."
What's the DEAL with the "Loft" aspect? Is it a cramped sardine tin or a spacious escape?
The loft thing? Okay, picture this: You're not *really* getting a massive loft. It's a clever use of space, I'll give them that. I was in one unit that felt pretty decent, the ceilings weren't *too* oppressive and the layout actually worked. Then I saw another unit, and… yikes. Seriously, I bumped my head on this low-hanging light fixture *twice*! The "loft" feeling is more vibe than actual square footage. Basically, you're getting a bedroom upstairs, probably barely standing height, and living area downstairs. Think of it like this: a two-story dollhouse for grown-ups (with maybe a slightly better view).
Location, location, location! How's the convenience? Is it in a decent area of Tangerang? Or is it a trek?
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The location? It’s... *pretty* convenient. Near a shopping mall, check. Accessable to public transport, check. But... Tangerang, right? Traffic is a beast. I got caught in a literal standstill once trying to get to the airport. It took an hour… for a 10-minute drive, I swear! So, yes, convenient *in theory*. But factor in the madness of Tangerang traffic. Be prepared for delays. And maybe bring a good book for your commute – you'll need it. And food. Always bring snacks.
What about the amenities? Do they actually live up to the Instagram hype? Pool? Gym? Laundry? All that jazz?
Ugh, the amenities. The promised land! Okay, the pool? It looks GREAT in the photos. In reality? It's... fine. Sometimes crowded. Sometimes a bit murky. The gym? Tiny. Like, two treadmills and a rack of weights that looked like they'd been through a war. Laundry? Yeah, they have it, but I had to wait an hour for the machine to become free. It's all a bit… basic. They're *there*, but don't expect a world-class experience. More like, "Well, it *works*." And honestly, the entire time, I felt like I was waiting for someone to spill a drink or lose a shoe.
About the Rooms themselves? Are they clean? Comfortable? Do they provide decent amenities?
Okay, the rooms. The *rooms*. This is where things get... inconsistent. One room, I walked in, and thought "wow, this is actually really nice!" Clean, modern, good AC, decent Wi-Fi. Another room? Let’s just say I felt like the cleaning staff was on holiday. Dust bunnies? Yep. Stains on the sofa? Uh-huh. The basic amenities are there: toiletries, towels, a tiny fridge. But the quality varies wildly. One time, the shower pressure was a trickle, another time, it felt like a fire hose. Honestly? Flip a coin. You *might* get lucky. Or you might get... not lucky.
Let's talk about the service. How's the staff? Are they helpful? Or are you on your own?
The staff… Ah, the staff. It's a mixed bag, like everything else. Some staff members are genuinely lovely, super helpful, and try their best to solve any problems. They genuinely seem to *care*. Others? Well, there have been times when it felt like pulling teeth to get a simple question answered. I remember once, I spent a half-hour trying to explain that the TV wasn’t working, and it was like talking to a brick wall. Zero comprehension. Zero empathy. So, your mileage *will* vary. Be patient. and be prepared to be your own advocate.
Okay, the BIG question: Is it actually worth the price? Good value for money?
Value for money? That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Look, it’s not dirt cheap. It's not ridiculously expensive, either. It’s… middle-of-the-road. Considering the location and the *potential* of the space? Maybe. But, you're paying for the *idea* of a hip, modern apartment. Not necessarily the flawless execution. If you can get a good deal, and your expectations are in check? Sure. But, if you're expecting luxury? Run. Run far, far away.
Okay, back to my experience. Anything REALLY stand out? Good or bad? Spill the tea!
Oh, man. Okay, buckle up. This is where it gets… real. So, I went to the gym one morning. The one with the two treadmills of death! Right? No one was there, and I was thrilled. I hopped on a treadmill, clicked start, and BAM! It immediately started making this god-awful grinding noise. I swear, it sounded like a swarm of angry bees mixed with a malfunctioning robot. I tried to stop it, but it wouldn't stop! It just kept getting louder and louder. I was convinced the entire building would collapse from the noise. I frantically hit the off button a few more times, which seemed to cause it to start sputtering and smoking. I had visions of the manager running in screaming. So I panicked, ran out of the gym, and didn't go back for the rest of my stay. True story.
Overall impression? Would you recommend it? Or should I run for the hills?
