Good value and good people manage this property.
Pros:

Very secure property with some nice touches and it’s a very spacious one bedroom on the bottom floor. The neighborhood has some hidden gems for eating and enjoying great coffee.

Cons:

They had some problems with getting it cleaned properly before my arrival but it worked out.

Pros:

Es un hotel cómodo a pocos minutos en carro del centro de la ciudad, la zona es segura ya que no tuve ningún contratiempo a pesar de que llegaba a altas horas de la noche.

Cons:

La regadera esta literalmente sobre el excusado lo que es un poco incomodo para bañarse.

8.5/10, minor issues with hot water but I’d recommend raising with host immediately
Pros:

Friendly and attentive host, the area was well-located and good for the price paid.

Cons:

I had issues with the hot water, the host did come immediately to resolve this but the same issue came up on a different day. At this point I was already mid-shower so got on with it, and never mentioned it directly to the host but it was annoying that it happened again.

Muy cálida
Pros:

Los anfitriones fueron muy amables y atentos. La habitación estaba muy limpia, la cama muy cómoda. Tiene una sencilla terraza con vistas muy lindas. El barrio de noche no parece muy seguro para viajar sola, lo bueno es que está alejado del bullicio del centro.
