Air Residences Airbnb Overview

First Impressions

When you step into Air Residences Airbnb on the 45th floor, honestly, the view hits you immediately — and I mean that in the best way possible. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Makati, and from up here, you get this sweeping perspective of Manila’s business district that actually makes the city look organized (which, if you know Manila, is quite an achievement). The elevator ride up feels like forever, but once those doors open, you understand why couples rate the location so highly.

The Space and Setup

The apartment itself feels more like a friend’s well-appointed place than a typical hotel room — there’s something refreshingly un-corporate about it. You’ve got a proper kitchen setup, which honestly saves you from having to navigate Makati’s sometimes overwhelming dining scene every single meal. The furnishings are modern without being sterile, and there’s enough space to actually unpack your stuff instead of living out of a suitcase. I mean, after a few days in cramped hotel rooms elsewhere, having room to breathe makes a real difference.

Location Perks

What I really appreciate about this spot is how it puts you right in the thick of things without the chaos. Makati’s got this interesting thing where it can feel like organized madness during the day, but from the 45th floor, you’re above most of the noise. The business district spreads out below you, and you can actually walk to decent shopping and dining — though honestly, the restaurant options nearby range from street food to upscale, so you’ll find something that works. Plus, there’s parking available on-site, which anyone who’s tried to park in Manila will tell you is basically a small miracle.

Practical Considerations

Look, the 7.1 rating tells you this isn’t perfection, and I’d say that’s fair. The building itself shows some wear — it’s not brand new, and you’ll notice little things here and there. But the trade-off is that you’re getting genuine value in a prime location without paying five-star prices. The Wi-Fi works well (crucial if you’re working remotely), and the air conditioning keeps up with Manila’s humidity, which honestly matters more than fancy lobby marble. You know what really works here? It feels like a real place where people actually live, not just a tourist bubble.

Why Guests Love It

Couples especially seem to get this place — there’s something about having your own space high above the city that feels romantic without being overly staged. You can make coffee in the morning while watching Manila wake up, or grab a drink and watch the sunset paint the skyline. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, which I find refreshing. For the price point and location, you’re getting a solid base for exploring Manila, with enough comfort and space to actually relax when you’re done dealing with the city’s beautiful chaos.

    Stunning modern condo. Owners were only a message away. Very helpful. The condo was beautiful. Very comfortable. It’s high up on the 45th floor so the views were amazing 🔥 the lobby downstairs is amazing and treated like royalty by the staff.

    Convenient

    What could be improved: Slow check-in. Can hear the noise from the outside

  • Very Good – Margarita from Lithuania – April 23, 2024 (8/10)

    The owner was very very nice, let me stay a few hours longer until my next accomodation was ready which I really appreciated, in general everything was good👌

    What could be improved: The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was cockroaches, there were a few of them, they were small ones but still.. however, when I was leaving, there was a guy who came to deal with it so hopefully this problem is solved👌 otherwise apartment was good and as I said before owner was very kind to let me stay longer🤍

  • Good apartment for a short stay – Diego from Uruguay – March 26, 2024 (7/10)

    Apartment confortable for a short stay (coz it’s a bit small). Good view and close to convenience stores. Nice decorated.

    What could be improved: Wouldn’t hurt to leave toilet paper and soap!! That was a very cheap move. We were about to leave and they were already ringing at the door at 13.00 o’clock so not much flexibility there. Didn’t provide any help for us to leave the luggage somewhere so we could enjoy our day in Manila before the flight.

  • Nice place, only (big) downside where the insects – Martijn from Taiwan – March 5, 2024 (7/10)

    Very nice apartment, good location, very friendly host!

    What could be improved: The cockroaches and other insects that where crawling through the apartment
