Contrast this to the AirBNB I had in Makati which was an older building but the actual apartment was refurbished and nice. Lots of amenities directly in the area.
Surprisingly the price was about the same.

As to your location suggestions, I'm all over that: In Manila I'm staying one block from LA Cafe in Ermita, and when I return after a week in AC I'll be across the street from Filling Station (you guessed it-Makati Palace). In AC I'll be at ABC for 7 nights. It should be easy to get Grab's or Taxi's there and back.
Thanks!

Posts: 6886Prices are up a smidge.
Some Airbnb prices, for the month of January. Also non-descript listing descriptions. In general, small (16 M, SM Green Residences) lower-end places are $500+. Older and mid-sized studios at Birch Tower and Citadel are $650-$900-ish. And Knightsbridge / Gramercy studios are $900+ (saw some at $1700) per month. Add 10% for the airbnb service fee. Owners are also less likely to actually reply to questions (or reply days after you asked). A seller's market.
Pics 1-3: Nearly blank descriptions.
Pics 4-6: Robinson's Malate, Birch Tower, Adriatico / Faura, Mabini.
Pics 7-8: Makati, Knightsbridge, Gramercy.
Pic 9: Jazz Residence Makati (Jazz Mall).
Pic 10: MOA, Shore Residences.

Posts: 525Visa On Arrival
A quick help from the experts here. Is Visa on arrival still applicable for Indians who have a valid US travel Visa? I see some discussions around this 6-7 months back and I am fairly confident. However, I still want to make sure I do my due diligence.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Posts: 6886Well, looks like I haven't posted anything in a while. NY Eve was filled with food, grog, friends, music, happy pina, and fireworks. A warm, wonderful evening. The next morning wasn't so bad either; a great way to ring in the new year. So many future possibilities here. Use your imagination.

I used BeeWay both coming and going to AC a few months back. P3500 each way, paid to the driver at the end of the trip. Competent, professional drivers, who both had known the destination locations and directions prior to picking me up. I tell them to keep the radio off and I want it quiet in the vehicle. That way I can concentrate on my phone, or sleep in the back seat if needed. Comfortable 90-minute rides. Sunday is still the best day for light traffic.
BTW, I think Grab now has a similar feature when ordering a vehicle for transport. "Quiet Ride", "Silent Ride", or such. You can communicate it to your driver in advance of his picking you up. It means you want it quiet in the vehicle during your entire ride.

In AC you can hail a Blue Taxi.
Btw, in AC you might contact Beeway Travel to see if they have a SUV available for you and what the cost might be. You can travel with them from Manila to AC and back.
