Jakarta's Chicest 2BR Bassura City Oasis: Unwind with Travelio!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the urban jungle that is Jakarta and its 2BR Bassura City Oasis, courtesy of Travelio. Forget the perfectly manicured travel blogs, this is real - the good, the bad, and the slightly-sticky-from-Indonesian-heat-kind of ugly. Let's get this show on the road…
Forget Fluff, This Is Reality: Your Jakarta Escape (Maybe)
So, you're thinking Jakarta? You're brave. You're probably also sweating already. But hey, that's part of the fun, right? With Travelio’s "Chicest 2BR Bassura City Oasis," the pitch promises a haven in the chaos. Does it really deliver? Let's get messy with this.
Accessibility: Can You Get There? (And Around?)
- Accessibility: Alright, first things first. How easy is it to actually reach this place? The description boasts "Accessibility". Okay, cool! But I need specifics. Is it close to public transport? (Good for avoiding those insane Jakarta traffic jams.) Airport transfer is mentioned, which is a HUGE plus. Car park is available, and free of charge, and charging station is installed! Great for electric vehicle owners. Valet parking? Now we're talking. This scores points for convenience.
- Wheelchair accessible: It's a modern apartment, so fingers crossed but make sure you confirm it's all good before you book if this is a must-have.
Restaurants, Lounges, and the Sweet, Sweet Freedom of Not Cooking
- On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Okay, I'm lazy. Restaurants on-site are pretty much essential for me, especially on a short stay. Let me at 'em! The listing throws out "restaurants," "coffee shop," "poolside bar." So, what kind of food? Asian? International? I'm getting my hopes up for some nasi goreng and a Bintang by the pool.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: This is where it gets interesting. We've got everything from a la carte to buffets, from happy hour to room service (24-hour, bless!), salad, soup, and vegetarian options! (Finally, a consideration for us green-eating folks!) The presence of a snack bar feels like a lifesaver.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Let’s Be Honest, It Matters!
- Cleanliness and safety: Alright, look, in a place like Jakarta, this is crucial. The listing promises "Anti-viral cleaning products", "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," and "Staff trained in safety protocol." That really makes me breathe a sigh of relief because, you know, global health scares and all.
- Hygiene certification: (Let's hope it is certified!) These things are starting to become non-negotiable. Hopefully this gets the thumbs up.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: I like this. Giving guests a choice is a sign of a place that cares.
- Additional safety features: CCTV, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, safety deposit boxes. Good. Just, good. In a city this dense, you need to sleep easy.
Ways to Relax: Spa Day (Maybe?!)
- Things to do, ways to relax: Alright, here's where we see how "oasis" this place actually is. We're talking "Fitness center," "Swimming pool [outdoor]" and "Spa/sauna." I am sold. I need a pool after walking around the city and I will check this out when I book.
- Spa: Okay now, what am I getting into here? Full spa with body wraps, body scrubs, massage, and a sauna? Let's get real…am I actually going to get time to chill? Doubtful. But, if you can swing it… go for it!
Internet Access: Gotta Stay Connected!
- Internet: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Internet? "LAN" [lol - but still!], Internet services.
- Wi-Fi in public areas: Gotta be able to post those insta-stories, people!
Things to Do (Besides Eat and Sleep)
For the kids: Babysitting service, family/child friendly, kids facilities, kids meal… they're catering to families! This is a great thing.
Services and conveniences: Air conditioning in the public area? Check. Convenience store? Double-check. Daily housekeeping, laundry service, luggage storage… essential for any trip, really.
The Rooms: What Do You Actually Get?
- Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, alarm clock (useful or intrusive? Jury's out!), bathrobes (fancy!), coffee/tea maker (HECK YES), hair dryer (another essential), mini bar (tempting!), and safe box (for your passport and that wad of cash you know you'll need). I like a window that opens too. It needs fresh air, Jakarta can be stinky.
My Honest (Ramble-y) Verdict - A Few Points
- The Good: The on-site restaurant, the pool, the spa, the safety features… they all sound promising. The room amenities are solid. The free parking - a huge win.
- The Question Marks: Details are vague. Is the spa any good? What's the vibe of the restaurants? I need more flavor.
- The Imperfections: No mention of actual neighborhood vibe.
- The Realest Part: The "2BR" sounds perfect for a couple or a small family.
- The Biggest Draw: The promise of an escape from the chaos. THAT is worth its weight in gold.
My Emotional Response: Booking It!
I'm cautiously optimistic. The basics are there. The promise of those little escapes makes it worth it. I'm picturing myself, sweaty but happy, sinking into the pool. I'M IN!

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hanting Hotel Weifang Zhucheng Review!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this "itinerary" is less a perfectly-timed Swiss watch and more a slightly-scattered, delightfully-chaotic digital doodle of a Jakarta adventure. Prepare for the real, the raw, and the probably-shouldn't-have-eaten-that-street-meat truth. We're talking about Cozy Living & Simply 2BR Bassura City By Travelio, Jakarta, Indonesia, right? Let's do this!
Day 1: Arriving in Jakarta & the Initial Whirlwind (aka, The Great Luggage Tango)
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Landed at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK). Seriously, the air conditioning alone is a miracle. Jakarta humidity? Already feeling it, even through the blessed AC exhale. Immigration? Smoothish. Customs? Okay, a little intense. Spent a good five minutes frantically trying to remember if I'd packed anything illegal…pretty sure I didn't. But hey, the heart races, right?
- (Side note: Learning Indonesian is…challenging. "Terima kasih" is your friend, people. And "tidak tahu" is, apparently, my second language)
Late Morning/Early Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Taxi (Gojek, grab, taxi???) to Bassura City. This is where things got…interesting. Traffic. Absolute. Gridlock. Found my Travelio apartment. It's cute! Cozy is an understatement, and it’s a good thing. It's not a palace, but hey, at least my luggage eventually made it up the elevator. Seriously, that suitcase and I had a dramatic relationship the first day, and I won't even go into the awkwardness of trying to maneuver it around the tiny kitchen.
Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Unpacked (sort of), collapsed on the bed, and made a mental note to buy more coffee ASAP. Let the jet lag fully take hold. Briefly considered ordering room service but decided to venture out into the…well, the unknown.
- (Observation: The security guards at Bassura City are unbelievably polite. Seriously, every time I walk past, it's a beaming smile and a "Selamat sore, Ibu/Bapak!" (Good afternoon, madam/sir!) Makes you feel like a celebrity, even if you're just walking to grab a quick fix from the nearby Indomaret.)
Early Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Attempted to wrestle with the local SIM card & Data. Then decided to just let it go and use the wifi. So much for being independent. Took a small walk near the apartment, and tried to find some street food.
Day 2: Street Food, Smells, and the Search for Air Conditioning (aka, The Sambal Showdown)
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Morning is a loose term. Woke up a bit later than usual. The jet lag is starting to catch up to me. A slightly less-groggy state, though. I had a plan to visit a nearby food market. I should have remembered my broken Indonesian from the moment before.
- (Rant Alert: Jakarta is intensely sensory. The smells! The sounds! The constant buzz of motorbikes! It's a beautiful, overwhelming sensory explosion. I might be overdosing on that sensory overload. I'm pretty sure I'm currently wearing one of the smells of the city.)
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Street food time! Found a warung (small local eatery) and dove in. Tried some Nasi Goreng (fried rice), but the real star was the Sambal. OH. MY. GOSH. The kind of spice explosion that makes your eyes water and your nose run, but in the best, most masochistic way. I, a seasoned spicy food consumer, was challenged by the heat. It was a total triumph.
- (Anecdote: After the Sambal showdown, I needed water. Like, immediately. But the vendor just smiled and pointed at a bottle of…sweet, syrupy tea. Which, after the heat, was heavenly and terrible at the same time. I’m pretty sure my taste buds are currently staging a protest.)
Late Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Needed a break from the chaos, so I headed back to the apartment (which, thankfully, has glorious, life-saving air conditioning). Spent some time just staring out the window, watching the city move. It's mesmerizing, and a bit intimidating. Thinking of doing a spa treatment next. Need to do that.
Evening (5:00 PM - onward): Walked over to a local mall because it has Air Con. Found a movie theater and watched a completely dubbed movie I couldn't understand. Decided that everything smells fantastic, even when it shouldn't, but the sensory overload is still intense.
Day 3: Culture, Temples, and a Potential Food Poisoning Scare (aka, The Temple of Regret)
Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Went to visit the Masjid Istiqlal (Istiqlal Mosque). So. Impressive. The size! The architecture! The serenity (despite the constant buzz of the city). Really tried to be respectful, but I'm pretty sure I inadvertently stood in a place that I wasn't supposed to. Hopefully no sacred cows were slighted.
- (Quirky thought: I'm pretty sure my brain is still processing the sheer scale of the city. It's a visual and auditory feast, and I'm simultaneously loving it and feeling completely overwhelmed.)
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Decided to be more adventurous. Ate some sate ayam (chicken satay) from a street vendor. It was delicious, and I could already feel the regrets about to come.
Late Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Okay, so…I might have regretted the chicken satay. Let's just say my stomach and I are not on speaking terms right now. Spent the remainder of the afternoon in the apartment, trying to rehydrate and praying to every deity I could think of. This might be a moment where the beauty and the challenge of travel fully collide.
Evening (5:00 PM - onward): Watched some more TV, tried to keep down some bland, easy-to-digest rice. Not a total disaster, but a bit of a setback. Seriously considering a trip to a pharmacy to grab some medication.
**Midnight: ** Finally went to the pharmacy. No improvement, just a lot of regret.
Day 4: The Recover, Departure, And The Great Jakarta Farewell (aka, The Goodbye and Good Riddance)
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Slept in. Still feeling…delicate. Had to fight to eat some toast and tea.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Packed. Tried to mentally process what I saw the first few days.
Late Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): A taxi to the airport (CGK). Traffic? A nightmare, as always. But, hey, I made it. I even managed to find a small warung near the airport to get a last treat, to remember everything.
Evening (5:00 PM - onward): Goodbye, Jakarta. It's been…an experience. You were beautiful. You were challenging. And you definitely tested my digestive system. But I'll never forget the Sambal. I'll never forget the people. I'll never forget the chaos. And I'll definitely never forget the air conditioning. One day I'll be back, but for now, let's be hopeful and not too confident.
Final Thoughts:
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Your Jakarta experience will be unique. Embrace the mess, the unexpected, and the inevitable tummy troubles. Take the plunge, try some adventures, and don't be afraid to get lost (literally and figuratively) in the vibrant energy of it all. Jakarta? You wild, weird, wonderful thing.
And remember, always, terima kasih! (Thank you!).

Jakarta's Chicest 2BR Bassura City Oasis: Unwind with Travelio! – The Real Deal (and My Ramblings)
Okay, spill it. Is this place *really* "chic"? I've been burned before...
Alright, alright, settle down. "Chic" is a word that gets thrown around faster than a taxi in rush hour Jakarta, I know. Look, the Bassura City Oasis *tries* to be chic. The decor? It's… modern. Think IKEA meets, maybe… aspirations of a Scandinavian minimalist lifestyle? (Let's be honest, in a city like Jakarta, pure minimalism would be a survival skill!). The furniture *mostly* matches. There's a sofa that looks comfy enough for a Netflix binge. But "chic"? Hmmm… It's more "practical and clean." Think, "You could actually *live* here without feeling like you're in a museum." Which, in Jakarta, is a win. Trust me, I've stayed in places where the "art" consisted of a framed, blurry photo of someone's cousin.
Listen, I'm a pretty discerning traveler – I've seen things. I once stayed in a place where the *showerhead* was held together with duct tape. So, for Jakarta? This is… pretty darn good. Not five-star luxury, mind you. But definitely a step up from the duct tape shower head. It’s clean, it's got the essentials, and it’s a good base camp for exploring the city… or just collapsing after you've braved the traffic.
What's the deal with Travelio? Are they legit? And what about the location?
Travelio *is* legit, in my experience. Think of them as a sort of Airbnb-lite for the Indonesian market. The booking process was smooth enough – I even managed it after a particularly long and frustrating flight delay. The communication was good (although sometimes the response times were a *little* slow, which is common in Indonesia anyway, right?).
Now, the location... Bassura City is… interesting. It’s definitely not smack-dab in the heart of the tourist action. It's in East Jakarta, which is a bit of a trek from the main sights, but you’re close to some malls, which, let’s be honest, are a lifesaver in Jakarta's heat and humidity. And there are always Gojek and Grab motorbikes buzzing around, ready to whisk you away (just make sure you've got your helmet!).
I have a confession. The first time I tried to find my way, using Google Maps, I ended up circling the complex for like, a solid 20 minutes. Seriously. It *looks* like a maze when you're driving, and the signage… could be better. But once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty convenient. Pro tip: Download offline maps. Trust me. Especially for when you are running late for dinner and Google Maps just decided not to work.
Two bedrooms? Good for a family? Or a couple of friends?
Two bedrooms is a godsend in Jakarta, especially if you're traveling with a group. It offers space, and… privacy! The master bedroom was decent-sized (enough space to unpack without tripping over your suitcase, which is a luxury!). The second bedroom? Smaller, but perfectly functional. Would work well for kids, or a couple of friends who aren't *super* attached at the hip. Or, you know, a solo traveler who just really REALLY appreciates having a spare bedroom for… storage? (Guilty.)
I took my friends for a weekend there, and the freedom to have our private space was such a relief. One of our friend snored – a lot – and honestly, that second room saved our entire trip. We all got to sleep at least 6 hours a night without the risk of being punched during the night. That's saying something, let me tell ya! The place is perfect for families, or for sharing with a group of friends. The only thing that's worth keeping in mind is that the bathroom might be shared, so it's even more important to book it only with those you really, really like!
What amenities are included? Swimming pool? Gym?
Ah, the amenities. This is where Bassura City *really* shines. There's a swimming pool! And, people, it's HUGE. It's the kind of pool where you can actually swim laps, not just… awkwardly splash around. It was a lifesaver after a day of dodging motorcycles and inhaling exhaust fumes. The water was clean, the atmosphere was lively, and it's a great way to actually *enjoy* the scorching heat.
And yes, there’s a gym. I went once. Let's just say my commitment to fitness waned after the second set of bicep curls (it was very "commercial-gym-vibe" - not the most inspirational, but functional). Honestly, after spending a day exploring the city, the pool was usually enough exercise for me. There are also a few shops and restaurants in the complex. So, if you need a quick grocery run or want to grab some local food, you’re covered.
Is the kitchen well-equipped? Can I cook my own food?
Okay, the kitchen. This is a mixed bag, folks. It's *functional*, but don't expect a chef's paradise. You'll get the basics: a fridge, a stovetop, a microwave, and some essential cooking utensils. Enough to whip up some basic meals. I managed to make some instant noodles, eggs, and toast. My attempt at fried rice? Let's just say the smoke alarm went off. (Sorry, Travelio, if you're reading this!)
It's enough to get you by and save money, but don't expect to be creating masterpieces. They *do* provide basic cutlery, so yay! But there were no wine glasses. If you're really into cooking, you might want to check the listing for a detailed inventory before you arrive. If you plan on doing elaborate cooking, you *might* want to pack a few of your own things. Unless, of course, you're like me, and burnt noodles are just part of the adventure.
The internet. Is it fast enough for streaming, or a disaster?
The Wi-Fi... Ah, internet in Indonesia! It can be a gamble. BUT, thankfully, the Wi-Fi at the Bassura City Oasis was actually pretty decent. I was able to stream Netflix without too much buffering. Which, after a day of battling Jakarta traffic, is an absolute MUST. I'm talking to you, Netflix! The internet in Jakarta can go from amazing to non existent in the blink of an eye, so the wifi was a pleasant surprise. I even video chatted with my family back home, which is always a bonus. Of course, it’s not fiber-optic perfection, but it's definitely usable. Just don't expect to be uploading massive files super quickly. And, you know, always have a backup plan (a local SIM card with data) just in case.
