Abuja's Most Luxurious 3-Bedroom Duplex Awaits! (Shortlet Court)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the shimmering, possibly slightly over-the-top world of Abuja's Most Luxurious 3-Bedroom Duplex Awaits! (Shortlet Court). And let me tell you, I've seen some things in my time, but the sheer volume of features they're touting here is… well, it's a lot. Let's see if it lives up to the hype, shall we? This isn't going to be your average, sterile hotel review. This is going to be the unfiltered, slightly chaotic, hopefully hilarious truth.
First Impressions & Accessibility (Or, the Quest for the Front Door)
Okay, so "Shortlet Court." Sounds promising. Luxurious? We'll see. Accessibility is key, especially for folks who might need it. What's the deal? They mention facilities for disabled guests, which is a good start, but I want specifics. Do they have ramps? Wide doorways? Braille signage? The devil, as they say, is in the details. We'll have to dig deeper. I’m imagining myself already navigating the place, picturing a stylish cane at the ready.
Getting around, if you arrive, they do offer airport transfer, valeting, and a car park [free of charge] (hallelujah!). Plus, a car power charging station! Abuja traffic can be a beast, so the taxi service is a lifesaver.
The Digital Den: Internet, Wi-Fi, and the Quest for a Signal (or, My Online Romance with a Router)
Internet. Oh, the internet. In this day and age, it's more essential than oxygen. They're screaming about "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Internet access – wireless." Great. But is it good Wi-Fi? Is it strong enough to stream a movie without buffering? Can I zoom with my family on the other side of the world? I need answers! And they've got Internet [LAN], too. For the old-schoolers or the security freaks! I like a good, secure connection.
They also mention "Wi-Fi in public areas." Fingers crossed that means a decent signal in the lobby, because let's be real, sometimes you just want to lounge in the lobby and judge everyone else.

Day 1: Arrival, Awe, and the Quest for Air Conditioning (and sanity)
- 11:00 AM (ish): Land in Abuja. Oh boy, the humidity! You know you're in Nigeria when the air feels like you're wading through a warm bowl of soup. Immigration? Let's just say patience is a virtue. After a near-meltdown involving a misplaced passport (mine, naturally), and a surprisingly cheerful border agent who just loved my attempts at pidgin, I was through.
- 12:00 PM: Meet my driver, God bless his soul. Navigating Abuja traffic is like playing a real-life video game. The objective? Survive. The soundtrack? A cacophony of honking and the rhythmic thrum of engine noise.
- 1:00 PM: Arriving at Shortlet Court! Sigh of relief. The pictures online? They didn't lie. This place is gorgeous. Marble floors, sleek furniture, and a balcony that practically screams "Instagram me!" But the real test? The AC. Please let it work.
- 1:30 PM: AC SUCCESS! (For now, at least). Unpacked. Immediately collapsed on the most comfortable couch I've ever encountered. Okay, I'm officially in vacation mode.
- 3:00 PM: Lunch! Found a local spot just down the road. The food was incredible – pounded yam with egusi soup, absolutely divine! My tastebuds are still dancing.
- 5:00 PM: Exploring the neighborhood. I wandered around getting a sense of the place. Okay, I'm already lost, despite the best efforts of Google Maps.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. The service was a bit… laid-back, shall we say? But the food was worth the wait. I ate my fill and then some.
- 9:00 PM: Back at the apartment. Crashing on that couch, completely wrecked but utterly content. This is the life, this is living.
Day 2: Zuma Rock, Shopping, and a Very Unexpected Haircut
- 7:00 AM: Wake up, feeling like I got hit by a bus. Jet lag is a beast. Attempted to make coffee. Gave up.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Found some delicious plantain fritters and a local coffee shop. Fueling up for the day!
- 10:00 AM: The Zuma Rock Adventure! I really wanted to see this famous rock formation. It's truly majestic. The drive there was pretty decent, except for the dust and the occasional herd of goats. It's beautiful up close.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a roadside market near Zuma. Spicy suya, the perfect fuel.
- 2:00 PM: Shopping at a local market. The vibrant colours, the bartering – it's a sensory overload in the best possible way. I picked up a gorgeous Ankara fabric.
- 4:00 PM: This is where things get… interesting. I went to a local barbershop. The intention? A trim. The reality? A… bold new haircut. Let's just say the barber was very enthusiastic with the clippers. It's… unique. I am now rocking a style I can only describe as "avant-garde". My reaction? Well, at first… shock. Now? I'm embracing it. It's an Abuja souvenir I'll never forget.
- 6:00 PM: Quick visit to the grocery store, finding myself getting lost in the snacks and trying to decipher food labels in the local language.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a fancy restaurant. I'm finally putting my questionable haircut to the test.
- 9:00 PM: Back in the apartment. My head hurts, jet lag is now officially kicking in, and I'm considering ordering takeout.
Day 3: National Mosque, National Museum, and the Perils of Public Transport
- 8:00 AM: Woke up late, feeling refreshed and surprisingly OK with my hairstyle. Coffee is a necessity.
- 9:00 AM: Visit to the National Mosque. Absolutely stunning! The architecture and intricate details are breathtaking. I felt a sense of peace and serenity walking through the beautiful space.
- 11:00 AM: National Museum. A bit dusty, a bit disorganized, but crammed with history. I especially enjoyed the art gallery.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a local cafe. Some delicious street food.
- 2:00 PM: Public transport adventure. I thought I'd be brave and try a "danfo". What an experience! Crammed, bumpy, loud, and intensely fascinating. I met some lovely people and learned a few new phrases. But next time, I'm sticking with the car.
- 4:00 PM: Shopping at a local market. Finding local souvenirs.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and drinks at a rooftop restaurant. The view of the city was breathtaking.
- 9:00 PM: back at the apartment, exhausted, but happy.
Day 4: Relaxation, Reflection, and a Farewell Feast
- 9:00 AM: Late breakfast. Today, I've decided, is a day of pure relaxation.
- 10:00 AM: Spent the morning lounging on the balcony. Read a book, sipped coffee, and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
- 1:00 PM: I ordered in a lot of Nigerian food, including jollof rice, meat pie, and some spicy pepper soup.
- 3:00 PM: Packing. It's bittersweet to think about leaving this amazing place.
- 5:00 PM: Final trip to do some souvenirs.
- 7:00 PM: Farewell dinner at a great restaurant I found. Tried some more local dishes.
- 9:00 PM: Last night in the apartment. Reflecting on the trip. The memories, the food, the people… it's amazing.
Day 5: Departure (and a Vow to Return!)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up, the first of many alarms.
- 8:00 AM: Final check of the apartment.
- 9:00 AM: Saying goodbye to my driver and heading to the airport.
- 12:00 PM: Taking off to the next destination
- Overall: Abuja, you were a wild ride! From the heat to the hair cut to the incredible food and the stunning Shortlet Court apartment, you exceeded all my expectations. I'm already planning my return. This wasn't just a trip, it was an experience. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. Until next time, Nigeria!
So, what's this all about, anyway? Like, REALLY about?
Okay, okay, but *specifically* what are we dealing with here? Like, what am *I* supposed to be doing?
And the *point*? Seriously, what's the darn point? Is there even a point?
Alright, fine. But what about *you*? Who's the madwoman behind the curtain?
So, like, what kind of *stuff* are we going to be talking about here?
- **Daily Musings:** My brain is rarely quiet and is always analyzing something.
- **Personal Ramblings:** The kind of stories I spill to my best friend over a steaming cup of latte
- **Quirky Observations:** I'm a professional overthinker.
- **The Dreaded Existential Crises:** They come up. Deal with it.
- **Anything and Everything Else:** Seriously, I'm open to suggestions. Because, let's be real, I'm probably going to ramble about whatever's on my mind at the moment. Which is usually a cat video, or the meaning of life. Or maybe both. Simultaneously. Don't judge.
Will there be rules? Because I *hate* rules.
What happens if I disagree with something?
Okay, I think I’m in. But… what if I get bored?
