Luxury Medan Living: Podomoro Lexington Apartment - Your Dream Home Awaits!
Luxury Medan Living: Podomoro Lexington Apartment - Your Dream Home Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the whirlwind – or, should I say, the luxury whirlwind – that is Luxury Medan Living: Podomoro Lexington Apartment - Your Dream Home Awaits! This isn't just a review; it's a full-blown, warts-and-all experience. Because let's be real, nobody wants a perfectly polished, boring travel catalog. We want the real deal, the messy glory, the "did they even sleep?" truth.
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, How I Didn't Faceplant Immediately)
Right, so, first things first: Accessibility. This is HUGE for me. I'm not gonna pretend I’m a paragon of agility (more of a "graceful penguin" myself). So, hearing about facilities for disabled guests had me cautiously optimistic. The elevator? Thankfully, present and functional. Praise the travel gods! Getting around in the common areas was generally okay. I saw a few ramps here and there. Obviously, I can't give a definitive review on this, but it seemed…decent. I'd encourage direct inquiries and detailed planning with the hotel to ensure a smooth stay. This is the most important part of the review.
The "Things to Do" – Or, My Attempt at Becoming a Zen Master
Okay, so, ways to relax… this is my jam. I mean, who doesn't want to become a puddle of bliss while on vacation? Podomoro Lexington has a SERIOUS spa game. They've got a sauna, a steamroom, and swimming pools… plural. The "pool with a view"? Chef's kiss. Let me tell you, after the utter chaos of arriving at the airport (taxi drivers, am I right?), a swim in that pool was… well, it was spiritual. Okay, maybe not spiritual, but definitely a huge relief from the travel stress. The massage was also amazing. Like, "melt-into-the-table" amazing. I'm now a convert.
Then I thought I'd step up my new spiritual journey and try out the Body scrub and the Body wrap. Let's just say the scrub was…enthusiastic. I swear, I’m pretty sure they scrubbed off at least a layer of my skin. But hey, by the end, I felt like a newborn baby, ready to face the world (or at least, ready to order room service).
And the fitness center? Yeah, I popped in. Briefly. I'm more of a "look at the equipment and then immediately find the nearest bar" type of person. But it looked legit. Seriously, there's a gym/fitness offering. So, good on them.
Cleanliness & Safety – Because, You Know, We're Living in a Pandemic
Alright, this is HUGE right now. Podomoro Lexington seems to be taking things seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, individually-wrapped food options (thank goodness! I'm still nervous about anything that isn't completely sealed!) and staff trained in safety protocols. There's even sanitized kitchen and tableware items, all good stuff. I, personally, felt pretty safe, although I'm still obsessively washing my hands. They also provided Hand sanitizer everywhere. They really want me to be clean. Good on them.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking – My Culinary Adventure Begins!
Okay, food. This is where things get interesting. Restaurants, coffee shops, poolside bars. Podomoro Lexington has got the options! There's Asian cuisine, international cuisine, vegetarian restaurant, all that jazz. And the breakfast? You have a choice between Asian breakfast, buffet in restaurant, breakfast takeaway service, and Western breakfast, it was a buffet – a good one! I went a little overboard on the pastries. Don't judge me. The room service [24-hour] was a lifesaver after a particularly grueling day of… well, relaxing. I'm a big fan of the bottle of water that's provided. The coffee/tea in restaurant was also excellent. The salad in restaurant was fresh and crisp!
Services & Conveniences – Because We Like Being Pampered, Okay?
Where do I even start? Concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry service, dry cleaning… Podomoro Lexington is basically a personal butler service in disguise. The elevator – again, much appreciated. Then the amenities, oh Lord the amenities. I've got to mention the complimentary tea and complimentary bottled water, because I’m hydrated and caffeinated. The daily housekeeping was so good, my room felt like a spa. The security [24-hour] made me feel safe, and the front desk [24-hour] was always there to help.
For the Kids (and the Kid in All of Us!)
Although I didn’t travel with kids, I did catch sight of some kids facilities and babysitting service, which is awesome for families. The family/child-friendly vibe was definitely there.
The Rooms – My Cozy, Luxurious Bunker
Okay, the rooms. Air conditioning. Alarm clock. Bathrobes (yes, bathrobes!). Blackout curtains (a must for a light sleeper like me!). Coffee/tea maker. Free bottled water. In-room safe box. Mini bar. Satellite/cable channels. Separate shower/bathtub. Slippers. Wake-up service… Literally everything you could need. My room had Wi-Fi [free], which was ESSENTIAL for me. I did a bit of work, then watched on-demand movies while wrapped in my bathrobe. Pure bliss.
Getting Around – Navigating Medan Like a Pro (or, At Least, Like Someone Who Pretends)
They offer airport transfer (hallelujah!), taxi service, and valet parking. Getting around was easy enough, even for a directionally challenged individual like myself. There's also a car park [free of charge], which is a major bonus if you're driving.
Internet – Because, You Know, Connectivity
Internet access – wireless Wi-Fi [free], Internet Internet access – LAN. I was able to plug in on Internet [LAN], in the privacy of my room Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!.
My Honest Verdict
Look, Podomoro Lexington isn’t perfect. No place is. But it's damn good. It's stylish, comfortable, and the staff is incredibly helpful. The amenities are top-notch, the food is delicious, and the whole experience is…well, luxurious. It's a perfect mix of relaxation and convenience, with enough options to keep you entertained (or, you know, completely horizontal) for days. I had minor issues but you know what, those are minor issues. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

Luxury Marina Living in Jakarta: Sentra Timur Apartemen Blue Living Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned trip. This is my trip, a messy, beautiful, slightly chaotic adventure in Medan, Indonesia, starting from… wait for it… Apartemen Podomoro Type Lexington DR081269230282. Don't ask, I just ended up here.
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (Medan, Baby!)
- 10:00 AM: Landed. Wow. Humidity slaps you in the face the second you step off the plane. It's like a giant, warm, slightly smelly hug. Found my way to a slightly sketchy taxi – the driver seemed to be using the GPS as more of a suggestion than a rule. (Seriously, we took a detour through someone's… backyard? I'm still not entirely sure.)
- 12:00 PM: Arrived at Lexington DR081269230282. The apartment? Okay, it's… an apartment. Clean enough, I guess. My initial reaction: "Well, this is it." The view? Kinda meh. I'm looking at the… other buildings. Classic.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. Found a little warung (small local eatery) nearby. Ordered something that looked vaguely familiar. Turns out, it was some sort of… spicy, coconut-milk-based concoction with a few unidentifiable things floating in it. It was amazing. My mouth is still on fire, and I have no idea what I just ate. But hey, cultural immersion, right?
- 2:00 PM: Nap. Jet lag is a beast. Woke up feeling slightly disoriented and questioning all life choices. Did I make a mistake coming here? Is this going to be a disaster? (Probably.)
- 4:00 PM: Exploration! Wandered around the immediate area, which consisted mostly of shops selling everything under the sun and motorbikes zooming past at what felt like warp speed. Narrowed down some options for dinner.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a local street food place. More spicy, delicious things I can't name. Got completely overwhelmed by the sheer vibrancy of the place. So many people, so much noise, so many smells! It's sensory overload in the best way possible.
- 7:30 PM: Back to the apartment. Exhausted. Realized I haven't actually spoken to anyone other than the taxi driver and the warung lady. Minor breakdown. This is gonna be lonely.
- 8:00 PM: Netflix and existential dread. The internet is slow, obviously.
Day 2: Culture Shock (and a Seriously Bad Coffee)
- 9:00 AM: Attempted to make coffee. The result? Something that tasted like motor oil. Maybe I'll stick to buying it.
- 10:00 AM: Headed to downtown Medan. The ride was even more chaotic than yesterday. Nearly got run over by a bajaj (a three-wheeled rickshaw). It was the coolest and most terrifying experience.
- 11:00 AM: Visited the Maimun Palace. Beautiful, historical place! The architecture is stunning. But it was hot. So, so hot. And I started to sweat in places I didn’t know I could sweat. (Think the back of my knees.)
- 12:30 PM: Explored the Great Mosque of Medan. An absolute architectural knockout. The serenity inside was a welcome change from the chaos outside. Made me feel slightly less like an awkward tourist.
- 1:30 PM: Lunch. Found a "proper" restaurant. Ordered something that looked vaguely safe: Nasi Goreng (fried rice). It was… good. Predictable. Boring. (Maybe that’s what I needed, though.)
- 3:00 PM: Coffee break. Tried a place that advertised decent coffee. Another tragedy. How is it possible to mess up coffee this badly?!
- 4:00 PM: Walked through the Chinatown district. Incredible! The colors, the smells, the energy… it was a feast for the senses. (Even the slightly questionable things.) It sort of felt like another world, even though I am fairly sure I was just around the corner of downtown.
Day 3: The Lake Toba Odyssey (And My Near-Death Experience)
- 7:00 AM: Okay, this is the big one. Lake Toba! Apparently, it’s one of the largest volcanic lakes in the world. Booked a day trip. I'm excited. And a little terrified, as I probably booked the cheapest option.
- 8:00 AM: The van arrived. It was… well, it was a van. The driver's English skills were about as proficient as my Indonesian. (Which is zero.)
- 10:00 AM: The drive was… long. Like, really long. The roads were winding. The driver seemed to be auditioning for a spot in a Formula 1 race. I clung to my seat. I may have developed a stress sweat rash. At least the scenery was gorgeous.
- 1:00 PM: Reached Parapat (the gateway to Lake Toba). Wow. The lake is HUGE. Stunning. Breathtaking. All the adjectives.
- 1:30 PM: Ferry to Samosir Island. This is where things got interesting. The ferry was packed. We were crammed. And the boat swayed a little. And then, due to something I can’t quite put a finger on, the boat started moving very quickly in one direction. Then someone shouts something in Indonesian. Then, our driver jumps up and yells “BAD WIND!”
- 2:00 PM: Okay, so, here's where I almost die. Turns out, the wind picked up massively. The boat started to roll pretty violently. People started to scream. I just sat there, frozen, thinking, "Well, this is a way to go." (I'd never considered death by boat, but there you have it.)
- 2:30 PM: Somehow, the captain managed to steer us back to the dock (though there was some serious yelling back and forth). We were drenched. Terrified. But alive.
- 3:30 PM: Back on land, I needed a stiff drink (or, like, five). The rest of the day was a bit of a blur of temple visits (which were beautiful, I actually paid attention from fear of the boat).
- 7:00 PM: Back in Medan. Exhausted. Traumatized. Alive, but questioning all life choices. Ate every fried food I could find.
Day 4: The Great Retreat (And Maybe Some Shopping)
- 9:00 AM: Slept in. Needed it. Still processing the Lake Toba experience.
- 11:00 AM: Decided I needed comfort. Went to a mall. It was… a mall. Not exactly the exotic adventure I’d envisioned, but hey, the air conditioning felt amazing.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a boring franchise restaurant. Comfort food, not cultural exploration.
- 2:00 PM: Wandered the streets, looking for souvenirs. Found a really cool, albeit slightly overpriced, batik shirt.
- 4:00 PM: Back at the apartment. Ordered some food delivery this time. So simple. No more spicy, scary surprises!
- 8:00 PM: Planning the escape. Thinking I will just extend my flight.
Day 5: Departure & Reflection
- 9:00 AM: Woke up. Kind of sad to be leaving, actually. Medan has gotten under my skin.
- 10:00 AM: Last-minute souvenir hunt. Haggled like a pro (or at least, I think I haggled like a pro).
- 11:00 AM: One last authentic Indonesian meal. Still can't name most of the ingredients, but it was delicious.
- 1:00 PM: Headed to the airport. The taxi ride was thankfully uneventful.
- 3:00 PM: Arrived at the airport. The airport felt like… an airport. (Which is a good thing, right?)
- 6:00 PM: On the plane. Looking back, Medan wasn't perfect. It was chaotic. It was challenging. It was… amazing. Would I go back? Absolutely. Maybe I'll even try that coffee again. …Maybe not.
…And that, my friends, is my Medan adventure. Proof that even the most haphazardly planned trips can be the most memorable. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a long, hot shower and a very strong drink. And maybe some therapy.
(P.S. - Lexington DR081269230282… not a bad base camp, all things considered. Just, you know, bring your own coffee maker.)
Athens Dream Apartment: Emerald Lush Oasis in the Heart of the City!
Podomoro Lexington Apartment: Your Dream Home...or Just a Really Nice Nap? FAQs (Because Real Life is Messy)
Okay, so, Luxury Living in Medan? Is it *actually* luxurious, or just a fancy name for "slightly less dusty"?
Alright, let's be honest. My first thought? Medan luxury? Sounds like an oxymoron, right? But *whoa*, Podomoro Lexington actually surprised me. Walked in, and yeah, the lobby gleamed. Think marble, not…well, you know…the usual Medan-ness. Okay, okay, "luxury" is relative. It's not Parisian palace level, obviously. (I've never been to Paris, but I assume!) But compared to a lot of what I've seen in this city? Yeah, it's legit. The pool? Huge. The gym? Actually has decent equipment – which, after battling the traffic in Medan, is a godsend. But...let's be real. Luxury also means *maintenance*. And, well, I saw a tiny leak in the hallway ceiling on one of my visits. They were on it *quickly*, mind you. But still... a minor imperfection! Proof that even the shiny stuff gets a little… Medanny… from time to time.
The Pool! Is it *actually* swim-able, or just a "pretty" water feature? And what's the vibe like?
The pool. Oh, the pool. Okay, confession: I am a pool snob. I hate chlorine so strong it could melt your skin. And I hate crowded, screaming kids. The Lexington pool? Surprisingly good. It's big, it's clean, and the chlorine isn't trying to strip your DNA. Seriously, I actually felt refreshed after a swim, not like I'd just been through a chemical warfare exercise. The vibe? Pretty chill. Sometimes, you get the obligatory Instagrammers snapping pics (eye roll, insert emoji here) but mostly, it's a mix of couples, families, and people just trying to escape the Medan heat. I actually saw a guy reading a philosophy book by the pool. PHILOSOPHY! In Medan! Mind officially blown.
Parking. Let's talk parking. Because, Medan.
Parking. The bane of my Medan existence. Okay, Here’s the deal: The Lexington has designated parking. Which is HUGE. A total game changer. But... (there's always a but, isn't there?) It can get a little tight during peak hours. One time, I swear, I spent ten minutes doing a three-point turn in a space that was clearly designed for a Mini Cooper, not my beloved (and rather large) SUV. But the relief of *having* parking is worth it. You know, the joy of actually *finding* a space is a powerful thing after a long day battling the traffic gods. Just… try to avoid rush hour. Seriously. For your sanity.
What kind of people live there? Because sometimes you just want to avoid the… well… *certain* types, you know?
Okay, this is important. The residents...it's a good mix. Ex-pats, definitely - you'll hear a lot of English (mostly). Young professionals, families.... you get the sense people are generally… *decent*. No screaming karaoke at 3 AM (thank God). No endless car alarms. It's a more… *refined* crowd. I’m not saying everyone's perfect, but it’s generally peaceful. I did once see a guy walking a tiny, incredibly fluffy dog. I mean, a tiny, fluffy dog IN MEDAN! That's got to say *something* about the demographic, right? Generally a chill experience overall.
The Facilities (Gym, Garden, etc.) - Are they *actually* usable, or just for show? And what are they *really* like?
The facilities! I already mentioned the gym - decent equipment, which is a massive win. Now, the garden... this is where things get interesting. It *looks* lovely. I love a proper garden for a nice stroll! But reality struck me. Picture this: I stroll through the garden, feeling all zen, and then... *BAM*... a mosquito attack. My legs became dinner. So, yes, it's beautiful. But be armed. Mosquito spray is your new best friend. Also, It is quite windy - which is a mixed blessing! On a sweltering day, it's amazing! It's just the garden, the reality is that on my day, I had to get my phone and spray off the mosquitos! But, again... beautiful!
Are the units itself really worth the money? Or are you just paying for the fancy name?
Okay, the units. *This* is a big one. Let's be brutally honest: Medan isn't the cheapest city, but it's also not the most expensive. And the prices at the Lexington? They aren't exactly pocket change. So is it worth it? Honestly, it depends. If you're coming from a super-basic Medan apartment, then yes, absolutely. The quality of the construction, the finishes, the space…it's a step up. If you're used to living in seriously high-end digs elsewhere in the world – maybe a slight adjustment period. But (and this is a big but) the views! The views are AMAZING. I could stare out the window for hours. The sunlight alone helps me feel better. Seriously, it made me have a whole different perspective. So, ultimately? Worth it? Probably. But do your research, negotiate, and make sure you *really* love the view. That view could make or break your Medan experience, believe me. And don't forget, the price is also for the lifestyle. The safety, the convenience, the escape from the…well, the chaos. It's all part of the package.
How's the location? Is it actually convenient, or a nightmare to get anywhere?
The location! This is a crucial one in Medan. Traffic is a beast. The Lexington is centrally located. Close to the city centre, but also near a few malls and easy access to main roads. The keyword is *easy access*. Now, easy is relative. You still need to factor in Medan traffic, so don't expect miracles. But, it's better than being stuck in some remote location. And, hey, if you order food delivery, it's usually pretty quick. So in the end? Yes, it's a decent location. Just, you know... brace yourself for the road.
What's the best part about living at Podomoro Lexington?
