“A happy stay at The Happy Place!”

This conveniently located apartment with great view, offering truly excellent value for money, would be our first choice on our next visit to vibrant Manila.  A few nights was not long enough to explore all the many attractions exciting Pasay has to offer. We hope our truthful review will be helpful. The Host kindly enabled a prompt check-in/out, assisted by helpful 24 hour security.  The Happy Place is on a high floor which, from the compact balcony, has a great view of Pasay, the coast, the airport and distant mountains - firework displays, too! 'Welcome' coffee was thoughtfully provided (a supermarket is very conveniently located less than three minutes walk away) with a useful microwave, fridge-freezer, TV, aircon and essential toiletries. The comfortable bed - a great night's sleep! - is against the wall on three sides however is large enough for the 'enclosed' person to get out at the bottom. (We were unsure if the washing machine was usable - would the seemingly 'disconnected' pipe cause any flooding? - but, if needed, we are sure our helpful Host would have assisted promptly.) Mentioned to avoid disappointment, the large, well-maintained 7th floor rooftop-style swimming pools - adult and children - if required, are charged at PhP150 (PhP300 on public holidays) per person per day.  Do note, the ground floor office selling pool tickets is closed from 1pm Saturday and all day Sunday.  This excellent pool, even at most busy times, still had loungers free. As mentioned, The Happy Place is well located, with restaurants to suit every nationality's palates (5 mins walk away, King Jian Bao Restaurant is outstanding!). To summarise, The Happy Place is excellent value and ticks all essential boxes for a happy stay.  Thank you, Host, for your valued assistance - highly recommended!
