About Jakarta

I didn't stay here really. Just for one night, because I couldn't fly to Yogyakarta right away after I flew from Padang to Jakarta. I took a Damri bus to the backpackers area near Jalan Jaksa, stayed overnight and left the next day. I was planning on getting up early to see a few sights, but I could't get out of bed...

User's opinion:

It had a big bed...and that was it. There were multiple rooms and a shared bathroom, that if I remember correctly, couldn't be closed...And it was very hot. Only stay here if you must.
