Bintaro Icon's BEST 2BR Apartment: Stunning Ra Indonesia Modern Living! - My Honest (And Slightly Chaotic) Review

Okay, let's be real. Finding the perfect apartment in Jakarta can feel like finding a needle in a haystack made of traffic jams and inconsistent air conditioning. But after experiencing the "BEST 2BR Apartment: Stunning Ra Indonesia Modern Living!" at Bintaro Icon, I think I've stumbled upon something truly special. Prepare for a review that's less "checklist" and more "stream-of-consciousness, punctuated by moments of pure, unadulterated hotel joy."

Accessibility? Ugh, YES! (and a slight rant)

My biggest worry, frankly, is always getting to a place. Jakarta's public transport… well, let's just say it's an adventure. Thankfully, getting to Bintaro Icon was relatively painless. While I didn't need a specific "wheelchair accessible" experience, the presence of an elevator and generally wide hallways gave me a feeling that everyone is considered. It helps that there's a car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site], which is a HUGE plus in Jakarta's chaotic traffic. The airport transfer – a godsend, honestly.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Rollercoaster

Alright, let’s get to the good stuff! Food, glorious food. Bintaro Icon throws down a serious gauntlet. Restaurants, plural? YES. And options? Whew. They've got you covered: the Asian breakfast was legit, the Western breakfast was a solid contender, and the Asian cuisine in restaurant was pretty darn good, so I was surprised to find their Western cuisine in restaurant was even better. You can even arrange for Alternative meal arrangements, handy for my picky eating habits. Seriously, the Breakfast [buffet] was a treasure trove of delights. I spent what felt like an hour (okay, maybe two) just wandering around, piling my plate high. There was even a salad in restaurant, a life saver, especially during those hot humid days. There's a Coffee shop that was a lifesaver! Plus, a Poolside bar - yes! I'll say, I could have spent my whole stay just lounging there with a book and a cold drink (the Bottle of water provided in the room was a nice touch for hydration). And for those late-night cravings? Room service [24-hour] is a game-changer. Though I'm still miffed the Desserts in restaurant never caught my eye.

They also had a few small quirks, like how I only enjoyed my Happy hour experience once.

Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure (and Spoiled)

I’m a germaphobe at heart, so this section matters. And Bintaro Icon nailed it. This is the part where I gush. The Anti-viral cleaning products, the Daily disinfection in common areas, and the fact staff were trained in safety protocol put my mind at ease. The Rooms sanitized between stays and them having Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. They even had Hot water linen and laundry washing. It felt pristine. They even had Hand sanitizer everywhere. Seriously, I slept like a baby. The presence of security features like CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, and Security [24-hour] definitely contributed to that feeling of safety. The Doctor/nurse on call and the First aid kit are nice touches, too.

Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Spa Days and Poolside Bliss

Okay, THIS is where Bintaro Icon REALLY shines. The Swimming pool is gorgeous, but the Pool with view? Even better! I spent hours just staring out at that infinity edge. And the Spa? Cue angelic choir music. I indulged in a Body scrub and a Massage. The Sauna was a treat, and the Steamroom… pure bliss. They even had a Foot bath - a small thing that made a huge difference after a day of exploring the city.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference

Laundry? No problem. The Laundry service was quick and efficient, and the Dry cleaning came in handy after a particularly sweaty day of exploring. The Air conditioning in public area was fantastic and the Air conditioning [available in all rooms], a must-have. Plus the Concierge service was super helpful. I love places that provide the little things: Essential condiments, Free bottled water. Just being able to check-in via Contactless check-in/out was even more convenient. The Coffee/tea maker in the room sealed the deal for me!

Available in All Rooms: Comfort, Convenience, and (Almost) Everything You Need

Let's dive into the details within the apartment itself. My room was everything I hoped for. Air conditioning was a must, and it worked like a charm. The Blackout curtains, allowed me to sleep in (a rare luxury!). The Coffee/tea maker saved me from dragging myself to the coffee shop every morning, and the Refrigerator kept my drinks perfectly chilled. The Free Wi-Fi was a lifesaver for streaming my shows, and the Complimentary tea felt like a little hug at the end of the day. My Bed was extra long, which was awesome.

For the Kids (and the Kid in All of Us)

I didn't travel with kids this time, but I noticed plenty of families enjoying the amenities. They offer a Babysitting service and Kids meals, so it's definitely Family/child friendly.

The Imperfections (Because Life Isn't Perfect)

Okay, let's be real. Nothing's perfect. I did encounter one minor hiccup: the internet speed wasn’t always blazing fast. Also, the Smoking area could have a more pleasant vibe.

Final Verdict: Book It!

Look, if you are after a super comfortable, clean, and well-equipped escape in South Jakarta, Bintaro Icon's "BEST 2BR Apartment" is a winner. From the well-appointed rooms and excellent service to the fantastic dining and superb spa facilities, this place had everything.

BINTARO ICON APARTMENT TAKEOVER: A Messy Weekend of Existential Dread and Indulgence (Probably with Bad Coffee)

Accommodation: Modern 2BR Apartment Bintaro Icon by Ra Indonesia. (Let's hope it's not a complete disaster. I’m picturing sterile white walls and aggressively cheerful art. Pray for me.)

Day 1: Arrival and the Terrifying Quest for Decent Coffee

• Time: 14:00 - 15:00 - Arrival and Apartment Infiltration

  • Okay, so the flight (or train? Honestly, I booked this three weeks ago and the details are a blur) landed (or arrived) in Jakarta. Ugh, the humidity hit me like a wet blanket the second I stepped out. Remind me why I live in a climate that isn’t perpetually air-conditioned?
  • Finding the apartment… wish me luck. My sense of direction is famously terrible. I'm already picturing myself wandering the streets, hopelessly lost, surrounded by a dozen (or more) ojek drivers promising to take me "anywhere!" (Spoiler alert: I’ll probably end up in a dodgy karaoke bar).
  • Anecdote Alert: Last time I tried to navigate a new city, I ended up on a bus full of chickens. True story. (I’d tell you the details, but frankly, it’s too embarrassing.)
  • I pray the apartment is at least clean. I'm not asking for luxury, just… non-toxic.

• Time: 15:00 - 16:00 - Apartment Reconnaissance and Anxiety Audit

  • Okay, apartment acquired. First impressions? (Bracing myself). Deep breaths. Did they remember to put in coffee? (Priority number one. The existential dread is already creeping in).
  • Unpacking. Immediately regretting half the things I packed. Why did I bring those ridiculous platform shoes? (They looked so stylish in photos!).
  • Emotional Reaction: Slight panic. The familiar feeling of "What have I done?" sets in. This weekend is supposed to be relaxing, right? Right?!
  • The real test: is there a decent chair? I can not spend a weekend hunched over like a gargoyle.

• Time: 16:00 - 18:00 - The Coffee Crisis and the Search for Sustenance.

  • Here we go. The Coffee Quest. This is a matter of life and death. Seriously. If there are no coffee pods, or worse, instant coffee… I might just curl up in a fetal position and give up on life.
  • Finding a decent café is paramount. Google Maps, here I come. Pray for good reviews. Pray for wifi. Pray for… caffeine.
  • Quirky Observation: I have this theory that every country/city's true personality is revealed by its coffee. Will Bintaro be a land of artisanal brews, or a wasteland of watery disappointment? The suspense is killing me.
  • If the coffee hunt fails, it's noodle time. And maybe ice cream. And chocolate. And a marathon of bad reality TV shows.
  • Okay, the search for food. I’m starving. Fingers crossed for something delicious and not too expensive. Street food is tempting, but my stomach is also… delicate.

• Time: 18:00 - 20:00 - Evening Stroll (and Possibly Regret)

  • A civilized evening stroll, I tell myself. Fresh air! Maybe a sunset!
  • Likely scenario: Me, lost, overwhelmed by traffic, and accidentally wandering into a fish market.
  • Anecdote: Once, I followed a particularly tempting smell and ended up in a room full of… well, let's just say it involved pickled vegetables and a very grumpy old lady. Don't let me do that again.
  • Dinner: Somewhere with air conditioning. That's the only criteria.

• Time: 20:00 Onward - Apartment Debrief and Existential Contemplation

  • Back to the apartment. Time to assess the day, the coffee situation, and the general state of my sanity.
  • Reading (if I can focus), watching a terrible movie, and trying to avoid thinking about… everything.
  • Emotional Reaction: A mixture of exhaustion and a quiet sense of not quite fitting in. Is this what being an adult is?
  • Let’s be honest, I’ll probably fall asleep by 10.

Day 2: Culture, Catastrophes, and the Eternal Search for Joy

• **Time: 09:00 - 10:00 - The Glorious Wake-Up (if coffee was obtained yesterday

  • Coffee! Coffee! If I’m still alive, hopefully a decent cup is within reach.
  • Breakfast: Whatever looks least likely to give me food poisoning.

• Time: 10:00 - 13:00 - Culture, Catastrophe, and Trying To Find Something

  • Let’s try and be cultural. This is where the plan fell apart.
  • Museum? It sounds good.
  • Shopping: I'm a terrible shopper.
  • Anecdote: (Reluctantly) The last time I tried to be "cultured," I spent three hours wandering around a gallery and convinced I wasn't looking at the art and that I was the art.
  • Emotional Reaction: A growing sense of inadequacy. I'm not cultured. I'm not good at shopping. I'm not even good at being "me" sometimes.
  • Lunch. Need fuel to survive.

• Time: 13:00 - 16:00 - The Bintaro Edition: Double Down on the Experience… or Avoid It?

  • I'm going down the rabbit hole of Indonesian food. Or maybe I'm going to stay locked in my room.
  • Whatever I do, I shall be emotionally invested in it.

• Time: 16:00 - 18:00 - Back to the Apartment (and the Sweet Embrace of Netflix)

  • A moment of peace.
  • Quirky Observation: Apartment feels different now. I'm feeling somewhat better.
  • Contemplating what is the point of it all.

• Time: 18:00 - 20:00 - The Last Supper (aka Dinner, Maybe)

  • Dinner again.
  • Contemplating my life choices (again).

• Time: 20:00 Onward - Farewell, Bintaro! (and the inevitable packing panic)

  • Packing. The worst part. How did I accumulate so much stuff in just two days?!
  • Emotional Reaction: Sadness? Relief? A weird combination of both.
  • Trying to be positive.

Day 3: Departure and the Longing for a Regular Cup of Coffee

• Time: ALL DAY - Departure, Reflection, and the Pursuit of Normalcy
  • Ugh. The journey home.
  • Rambling: Did I have a good time? I don't know. Time will tell.
  • The only thing I actually want is a regular cup of coffee. Disclaimer: This itinerary is subject to massive change, whim, and the unpredictable whims of my own personality. Don't expect perfection. Expect… me.

Bintaro Icon's 2BR Apartment: The Real Deal? My Messy FAQ

Okay, so is this "Stunning Ra Indonesia Modern Living" actually... stunning? I'm skeptical. Spill the tea!

Alright, buckle up, because "stunning" might be a *slight* exaggeration. Look, when I first saw the renders? Yeah, jaw on the floor. Glossy, perfect, a life I'd only seen in design magazines. Reality? It's... good. Really good. Don't roll your eyes! The *bones* are definitely there. The high ceilings? They are a godsend in the Jakarta heat. The natural light? Amazing when the smog isn't a thick, choking beast. But "stunning" implies a certain... *effortlessness*. And there's a certain *effort* required, in a very Jakarta way. More on this later... let's just say, the Indonesian "modern" sometimes translates to "functional with a dash of ambition." My initial reaction? Pure, unadulterated glee followed by a slight, almost imperceptible, wobble of disappointment. Okay, maybe a little more than slight. I'm being honest here!

Two bedrooms, huh? Perfect for a family (or at least, a couple who *pretend* to be organized). Is it actually spacious? Because the photos ALWAYS lie.

Alright, so the photos are...optimistic. Let's be honest. They always are. I'd say it's *adequately* spacious. The master bedroom? Decent, even with my mountain of clothes. The second bedroom? Alright, don't expect grand, sweeping vistas. It's more... *cozy*. Perfectly functional for a guest room, a home office (if you can resist the siren song of the bed), or a kid's room. Just remember, Jakarta apartments are like that friend who always promises the best party, but the music's a bit off and the snacks…well, you brought your own? The space is good if you can be a minimalist. I'd say its a good enough if you don't have too much stuff. Be creative with storage! Embrace the "hidden compartments" that are usually built-in wardrobe.

The "modern living" part… Does it actually *work*? Like, the appliances? The Wi-Fi? Tell me it isn’t a constant battle.

(Deep breath). Okay, the modern living. This is where it gets... Jakarta-esque. The appliances? Mostly fine. The refrigerator keeps things cold, the stove generally lights. The Wi-Fi? A rollercoaster. One day you're streaming 4K movies, the next you're staring blankly at a loading wheel while trying to order nasi goreng. It's Jakarta, right? Embrace the chaos. The AC? Essential. The first day? Perfect. The second? Slightly less effective. By the third? You're sweating. I'm not kidding. You might need to call maintenance now and then—which, lets face it, can be an *adventure* of its own. This isn't necessarily a negative, just a realism of the area. But I'm just saying, invest in a good fan.

What about the location? Bintaro's a pretty big area. How's the accessibility? Food? Entertainment? The *vibe*?

Okay, location is *key*. Bintaro itself is fantastic. It's got this weird, slightly suburban, but still very Jakarta vibe. It's relatively quiet compared to Central Jakarta, which is a *massive* plus. Getting around? Depends. If you're a Grab/Gojek warrior, you're golden. Traffic can be a nightmare, like a regular, snarling, metal hydra, the usual of Jakarta. Public transport? Limited, but getting better. The food scene is good! Plenty of warungs, cafes, and restaurants. The entertainment? Enough to keep you occupied. Shopping malls are close by. The *vibe* is…family-friendly. Safe-ish. A good place to raise kids. Expect moms with strollers and couples on weekend dates. I got a coffee at a particular cafe this morning and their food quality is good enough!

Okay, so the amenities. Pool? Gym? Kid's playground? Gimme the juicy details. Are the facilities actually *usable*?

The amenities! Ah, the promise of a luxurious life! The pool? Yes. Clean-ish. Crowded on weekends. The gym? Equipment that's… seen better days. You *can* get a workout in, but don't expect state-of-the-art. The kids' playground? Smiles abound, and an army of energetic children. The on-site minimart? Stocked with essentials and the occasional emergency snack. Overall, the amenities are a mixed bag. I'm not going to lie. I got a bit *too* enthusiastic when I first saw the promotional photos. But hey, at least they *exist*. You probably won't feel you're missing out on much, but you're also not going to live the life of a celebrity. You have the required things, so the answer is yes, its *usable*.

Maintenance? I've heard horror stories. Is this building a crumbling disaster, or are they actually on top of things?

Maintenance... this is where the modern dream sometimes clashes with Indonesian reality. Okay, let's be honest, maintenance can be... *slow*. Requests, the people will eventually reply. But sometimes, it feels like you're negotiating a peace treaty. The upside? It's rarely a *complete* disaster. They eventually get things fixed. Eventually. I had a leaky faucet once, and it took... a while. But eventually, it was fixed. Overall, the maintenance isn't great, but it's not the worst. Bring your patience and a healthy dose of Indonesian "sabar" (patience). You'll need it.

Okay, the BIG question: Would you actually recommend this apartment? Be honest!

Okay, the million-dollar question! Would I recommend it? (Takes a deep breath). Yes. With caveats. It's not perfect. It's not the idealized "modern living" of those glossy photos. It's Jakarta, remember? But the location is good. The space is manageable (if you are organized!). The amenities are… there. It's safe-ish. If you're looking for a decent apartment in a good area, and you're prepared to embrace the occasional Jakarta quirk (the traffic, the slow maintenance, the unreliable Wi-Fi), then yeah. I would. It's got potential. Plus, the rooftop pool is pretty sweet, even if it is crowded on weekends. I'm still a bit grumpy about the internet though. But hey, that's life, uh? I might recommend, but if you can afford a better one. Do it!
