Tangerang's Dream Home: Luxurious Sky House in BSD!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the… well, let's call it the experience… that is Tangerang's Dream Home: Luxurious Sky House in BSD! Yeah, that’s the name. Fancy, right? Let's just hope the reality lives up to the hype. I’m bringing you my honest, unfiltered, totally-not-paid-to-say-this-good-stuff review. Expect messiness. Expect opinions. Expect me to forget what category I was supposed to be covering, but hey, that’s life, isn't it?
First Impression: The Sky's the Limit (Maybe)?
Alright, BSD. It's…BSD. Let’s just say it’s not exactly the heart of the party scene. But the "Sky House" part… that got my attention. I'm a sucker for views. And the accessibility – gotta check that out, right? Now, getting to the place? (Note to self, always check airport transfer options - it's a long way). They do offer airport transfer, and that’s a HUGE plus. Seriously.
Accessibility - The Good, The Okay, and the "Hmmm…"
Okay, crucial. I'm talking about accessibility, right? They claim "facilities for disabled guests," which is great. The elevator is a given for a sky house, thankfully! But specifics matter. My initial foray was good. Easy to find the lobby, accessible spaces. I’m always skeptical, though, as I've been burned before. Still, the CCTV in common areas offers a sense of security, and that's never a bad thing. The car park? Free and on-site. Boom. Easy parking. They've thought of those basic things. Now, how about the rooms? I’ll get to that. Fingers crossed.
Rooms: Up in the Clouds (and Hopefully Accessible!)
Alright. Rooms. This is where it gets personal, right? I need that in-room safe box to hide my questionable snacks. (Don’t judge). The air conditioning is a MUST. That window that opens? I love it. So, yes to the basics. The extra long bed sounds divine. Blackout curtains? YES. Sleep is sacred. Interconnecting room(s) available? Useful if you're traveling with family, or a particularly loud roommate who needs their own space. The complimentary tea is a nice touch. I could also see some slippers and bathrobes. The desk and laptop workspace make me think I could actually, maybe, possibly, work a little. If the free Wi-Fi in the room is decent, well, then, we're getting somewhere. Then there is the private bathroom and separate shower/bathtub, which should be great for accessibility.
Cleanliness & Safety – In These Times (and Generally)
COVID makes you paranoid, right? Anti-viral cleaning products? Good start. Daily disinfection in common areas? Excellent. Even better: rooms sanitized between stays. Room sanitization opt-out available? Respect. Also, they have staff trained in safety protocol. Hand sanitizer all around, and the doctor/nurse on call is reassuring. First aid kit? Always important. The smoking area outside is for anyone who doesn't want to smoke in their room, it’s good that it exists.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Fueling the Fun (and the Rants…)
Food! This is where my inner critic really gets a workout. Let's start with the good. Breakfast service is in! A buffet in restaurant could be epic, or a disaster. We'll see. Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant. Yes! Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. Also yes. Coffee shop and poolside bar? Good. Snack bar and room service [24-hour]? GENIUS. They also say they have vegetarian restaurant. This is already promising. But my favorite would have to be the desserts in restaurant. Salad in restaurant, too! This will be great after getting a massage or foot bath.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Will I Actually Unwind?
Pool with view, Swimming pool [outdoor]? YES. Is it actually a "pool with a view?” That's the question isn't it? Fitness center, Gym/fitness… I should care about this, right? I am a bit of a gym-a-phobe. The spa/sauna, Steamroom? Now we’re talking. Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap… Okay, now you're tempting me. I want to forget my stresses and just relax.
Internet & Tech - The Eternal Struggle
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Music to my ears! But… is it good Wi-Fi? I hate weak signal, I really do. It needs to work and it needs to work NOW. They also have Internet [LAN] which I would never really use. The Internet services will be important to me!
Services and Conveniences - The Extras That Matter
Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Elevators, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes. Standard, but important. I’m always grateful for daily housekeeping; I'm a mess. The convenience store is a must.
For the Kids – The Family Factor
I don’t have kids, but it’s worth noting the babysitting service and family/child friendly label. They also offer kids facilities and kids meal.
Getting Around
Airport transfer is a major win. They have taxi service and car park [free of charge] and Valet parking.
The "Dream Home" Verdict - The Messy Truth:
Okay, look. Tangerang's Dream Home: Luxurious Sky House in BSD? It's a lot. It promises a lot. There are definitely moments of potential brilliance. Accessibility looks promising. The spa and pool combo could be a true escape. The food options are plentiful. But the real test? The feel. Does it feel luxurious? Is it dreamy? I'm still on the fence, but I'm hopeful. It’s going to depend on the execution: the friendly service, the clean rooms, the quality of the breakfast.
My Honest Opinion: A Good Start, But Prove It
Right now, I'm saying it’s a good bet, especially if accessibility is a concern. If they nail the details – the good Wi-Fi, the genuinely friendly staff, the perfect spa experience – then this place could be a real gem.

Luxury Lekki Studio: Your Dream Haven Awaits (Emia Haven)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your grandma's meticulously color-coded itinerary. This is the real deal, my chaotic, beautiful, and probably slightly messy attempt to conquer Nice and Elegant Studio Sky House BSD By Travelio in Tangerang. Let's see if I survive…
Day 1: Arrival, Sky High Hopes (and Maybe Some Jet Lag)
- 08:00 AM (ish) Jakarta Airport Arrival: Okay, so the "ish" is key here. Let's be honest, there's a 70% chance my flight is delayed. Pray to the travel gods for smooth sailing. (Oh, and for my suitcase to actually arrive this time. Last time, it went to freaking Spain.)
- 09:00 AM (ish): Taxi from the airport to BSD City. Fingers crossed for a driver who speaks a little English. Or at least knows how to navigate with a phone. I’m already feeling the first twinges of jet lag and the existential dread of being a stranger in a strange land.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Check-in at Sky House: The real test! This is where the “Nice and Elegant” claim is put to trial. Will the place actually look like the photos? More importantly, will the air conditioning work? I have a premonition that I’ll be utterly charmed by the decor, while also discovering that this is the perfect escape from the noisy city.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Apartment Reconnaissance and Meltdown (Just Kidding… Mostly): Unpack, survey the scene, and inevitably judge every single design choice. Seriously though, I need to make sure there's a decent coffee maker. Because a hangry me is a terrible me.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch at a local Warung: Right. Time to immerse myself and venture out to find some authentic Indonesian food. The real fun (and potential for disaster) begins. I’m envisioning myself trying nasi goreng and accidentally ordering something that sets my insides on fire. (I’m looking at you, spicy sambal.)
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Nap Time is non-negotiable: That jet lag is kicking in. Seriously, I need a serious nap. No, I need a nap. It’s not a suggestion. It's crucial for human survival. Plus, I want to avoid the awkwardness of passing out at the next destination.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Exploring the BSD Area - If I’m not still comatose. I'm not a huge fan of big crowds, but maybe a stroll around the neighbourhood if I have the energy. If i do, the plan is to slowly meander around the area, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells. If not, it’s Netflix and ice cream. No shame.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner and Relaxation: Depending on my energy levels, it’s either a restaurant or ordering in. Probably a restaurant, I am feeling somewhat adventurous. Thinking I'll order something completely new and exotic, and then regret it later.
- 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Netflix and chill: The perfect way to end the day. I'll probably pick a movie I've seen a hundred times, just for comfort. A little guilty pleasure before I crash.
Day 2: Food, Fashion, and the Fickle Nature of Plans
- 08:00 AM: Okay, so breakfast. I'm guessing it falls under the 'food and relaxation' category. The plan is to try something simple.
- 09:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Shopping Spree at Aeon Mall BSD City: Time to embrace the chaos of a giant shopping mall. I'm not even sure what I'm looking for, but I always leave with something random. (A novelty coffee mug? A questionable t-shirt? The possibilities are endless…) The heat, the crowds, the sheer volume of stuff… it's either a sensory overload or pure retail therapy.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch at the mall: More food! I'm thinking some sort of fast food to experience. I can definitely go for the fried chicken.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: The Unbearable Lightness of Being Bored… or, Spa Time! Okay, let's be honest: plans are overrated. Suddenly, I'm craving a massage. I'll look up the best spa in the area and pray they have an opening. If not, it’s back to the doomscrolling.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The Unexpected Adventure: This is where it gets messy. Knowing me, some random encounter will happen. Chatting to a local? Getting hilariously lost? I'm embracing it!
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner: I'll have a craving that I can follow.
- 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Sunset Viewing: I'm hoping I can catch the sun setting over the city.
- 9:00 PM - Late: Stargazing: If the sky is clear at night, it's time to check on some stars.
Day 3: Culture Shock (and Maybe Goodbye)
- 08:00 AM (ish): Another breakfast.
- 09:00 AM - 12:00 PM: The Quest for Authenticity (and Coffee!) This is where I'll attempt to act like a tourist. Maybe a small museum if I can find one that appeals to me. The main goal, though, is to find a great local coffee shop. A real one, not a chain.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch at a local restaurant: This is where the food adventures never stop. It's time to find a place that actually smells good, and then try something I've never heard of.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Back to Sky House for Packing and Reflection: The end is near. I'll pack up, reflect on the highlights and laugh at the mishaps that I encountered.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Last-Minute Shopping and Souvenir Hunt: Time to do some shopping.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Last Dinner: Time again to order some food, because I have a flight to catch.
- 7:00 PM - Departure: Time to say goodbye, go to the airport, and pray that everything goes according to plan.
The Unedited Truth
Listen, this isn't going to be a perfect trip. There will be wrong turns, language barriers, meltdowns in crowded places, and moments I want to scream. And you know what? That's the magic of travel. It's about the imperfections, the unexpected detours, and the stories you can tell when you get back. So here's to embracing the chaos, the laughter, and the (hopefully) delicious food! Wish me luck!

Dream Home's Got Me Dreaming... and Maybe Crying a Little? A Tangerang Sky House FAQ (Real Talk)
Okay, so “Luxurious Sky House.” What does THAT even MEAN in BSD? Like, actual luxury? Or just, a glorified shoe box with a killer view?
Okay, truth time. "Luxurious" is thrown around *a lot* in real estate, right? It usually translates to, "Prepare to pay a LOT more than you thought." Look, I went with my friend, Sarah. She'd been saving for, like, *years* and was seriously considering this place. The lobby? Stunning. Marble, plants, people in suits looking important. Made me feel, you know, kinda… underdressed in my jeans. They showed us the *views* - panoramic, city sprawling. Amazing. Seriously. And there's a fancy gym, a pool that looked like a magazine spread... But then you get into the nitty-gritty. The "luxurious" appliances might be… *slightly* more basic than you'd expect for the price. Sarah, bless her heart, pointed out a crack in the marble countertop. And the tiny balcony? My cat has more space in *her* litter box. Still, seeing the views make you want to forgive a lot of things.
The views... I get it. What's the deal with the... *people*? Will I be surrounded by… snobs? Or is it a genuine community vibe?
Ugh. The *people*. This is where it gets tricky. Look, there's definitely a certain… *type*. Lots of well-heeled folks, young professionals, and families who probably have more disposable income than I've had hot meals. I met one guy who casually mentioned his yacht. I nearly choked on my complimentary bottled water (which, by the way, was REALLY good). But! There are also genuinely friendly people. Some of Sarah's potential neighbors seemed nice, normal even. I got the impression you'd find a decent cross-section of humanity. It’s not the Beverly Hills of Tangerang (thank God). It's a mixed bag. Prepare for some serious name-dropping and designer labels, but also, hopefully, some actual connection. Fingers crossed, right?
Okay, practical stuff. Parking? Traffic? BSD can be a beast.
Parking… is probably covered. Most places like that offer dedicated parking. Traffic? Yeah. BSD traffic is legendary. Plan your routes. Invest in a good audiobook. Or, maybe, a personal helicopter? (Just kidding… mostly). Accessibility to the toll roads are a godsend, but still... the city's layout, honestly? Could be better. I'm sure they're working on it. But you're paying a premium for convenience, so, well… it better *be* convenient.
Let's talk numbers. How broke will I be? And is it even *worth* the price?
Oh, GOD, the numbers. Okay, Sarah… she nearly passed out when they told her the price. You're talking… *a lot* of rupiah. Enough to make your eyes water. Mortgage payments that could buy a small island. (Okay, maybe not a whole island, but a really nice speedboat). Is it worth it? That’s the *million-dollar* (or, you know, billion-rupiah) question. Here’s the thing. If you *need* to be in BSD, if you have the budget, and if a sky-high, marble-floored, slightly-less-than-perfect life appeals to you… maybe. For me? I'm a bit of a… simpleton. I'd be terrified of breaking something. Or, you know, not being able to afford groceries after the first mortgage payment. Be very, VERY honest with yourself about your financial situation. And your tolerance for luxury-lite.
The amenities... seriously, how good is that pool *really*? And what about the dreaded "maintenance fees"?
The pool… it *did* look amazing. Like, infinity pool, views of the city, the whole shebang. I was imagining myself, lounging, sipping a fancy cocktail… then I remembered I can barely tread water. So, basically, it’s a status symbol, a beautiful thing to look at. The gym? Probably state-of-the-art. I wouldn't know – I haven't been to a gym in like, five years. The maintenance fees? They'll sting. Factor those into your budget! They're not small. They cover things like, you know, keeping the lobby immaculate, the pool sparkling, the landscaping… pristine. Plus salaries for the people in uniforms that are always smiling. Expensive smiles, those are.
Okay, let's go back to Sarah for a second. Did she buy the place? And what was her final verdict?
No. She didn't. And I'm so, so glad she didn't. It wasn't right for her. She’s a practical, down-to-earth girl. She needs… space. And a slightly less-intense financial commitment. Her final verdict? "Beautiful…but… overwhelming." She ended up finding a lovely, more realistically-priced apartment *somewhere else* in BSD. And honestly? I think she's happier. The Dream Home? It's someone's dream. Just… maybe not everyone's.
If you could go back, would you go there again?
That place, it left me torn. Yes, I'd go back again. It's beautiful. But, would I want to live there? No. The lifestyle's too much. I would rather spend my money on travelling, trying new foods, and maybe a small, lovely house when I'm ready to settle down.
