Gio Apartment

Gio Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Gio Apartment on Strada Nicolae Testemițanu, you immediately get the sense that this place knows what it’s doing. The building sits on one of Chişinău’s quieter residential streets, but honestly, that’s part of its charm — you’re close enough to everything that matters without dealing with the constant buzz of traffic. I mean, this four-star property has earned its reputation for good reason, and you can tell from the moment you arrive that someone’s put real thought into the guest experience.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re actually in a spot where locals live and work, not some touristy bubble. The street itself is lined with those classic Eastern European apartment buildings, but Gio stands out with its well-maintained facade. You know what’s really convenient? There’s a small grocery store just around the corner, and I noticed several cafes within easy walking distance. The area feels safe, even in the evenings, which couples seem to appreciate — apparently they rate this place particularly highly for romantic getaways.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup is where this place really shines. You’re not getting a cramped hotel room here — there’s actual space to spread out and feel human. The living area flows naturally into a proper kitchen (not just some tiny kitchenette), which honestly makes such a difference when you want to grab breakfast without heading out or store some snacks. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern and comfortable — nothing too flashy, but everything works well and feels thoughtfully chosen.

Daily Life Here

What surprised me was how easy it became to settle into a routine. The parking situation is actually manageable, which anyone who’s driven in Chişinău will tell you is no small feat. Mornings are particularly pleasant — the windows let in great natural light, and the neighborhood has this calm energy that makes you want to linger over coffee. The Wi-Fi is solid (I tested it thoroughly), and there’s enough counter space to set up a laptop if you need to get some work done.

Why Guests Love It

Look, an 8.2 rating doesn’t happen by accident, and after staying here, I get it. This isn’t about fancy amenities or over-the-top service — it’s about getting the fundamentals right and creating a space where you can actually relax. The location consistently gets praised by recent guests, and honestly, once you’ve walked around the area for a day, you’ll understand why. You’re close to the city center when you want to explore, but you come home to a peaceful street where you can actually get a good night’s sleep. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own space in a residential neighborhood rather than being stuck in a generic hotel corridor.

• Tetiana from Ukraine (7/10)

  Ничего не могу сказать об этом объекте размещения, так как в нем не проживали. Может быть в нем действительно все хорошо. Но отзыв оставляю не об объекте размещение, а о владельце. Подтвердив бронирование, в течении 4 дней даже не отвечали на сообщение. Когда повторно отправила сообщение, владелец, за день до заселение ответил, что квартира к сожалению занята. Как такое может быть после подтверждения бронирования, не понимаю, но владелец даже не соизволил об этом сообщить пока повторно не отправила сообщение. Считаю это непорядочным. Мы прилетели около 21:00 (с 4:00 утра на ногах, две пересадки, задержка рейса) и если бы выяснилось в этот день, что квартира, которую ты забронировал, занята, как бы согласитесь не очень приятно.

  Взагалі не прийняли нас !!! Проігнорували телефоні дзвінки та повідомлення!!!
  Ми розраховували на бронювання, їхали і думали що в нас є заброньоване житло !!! Але на повідомлення власник житла не відповідав, телефонували цілий день !!!! І ми в нього так і не попали

• Karina from Ukraine (1/10)

  Ужасный хозяин . За пару часов до заселения сказал что квартира занята . Хотя бронирование было оформлено и подтверждено ими за неделю . Приехали с другой страны и остались на улице !
