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.

Pros:

Bon emplacement, la chambre est spacieuse.

Cons:

Ce n'était pas précisé dans l'annonce mais la salle de bain est partagée !
Les murs sont super fins nous pouvons entendre les locataires des chambres avoisinantes faire l'amour !
Le propriétaire est gentils mais plutôt étrange par message...

Pros:

立地や駐車場は路駐が出来るのでよかったです

Cons:

スタッフと連絡はwhat’s appでやりとりをしていましたが
到着時間にスタッフがいなくて、来る間に買い物を済ませて戻ると、鍵を自分で取り部屋へ案内されるスタイルになっていて、24時間のフロント体制ではなかったのが残念です。到着後から帰るまでスタッフの方、ゲストの方誰一人会っていません。シャワーは冷たい水しか出ません。記載して欲しいです。

Only stay if you don’t care about cleanliness
Pros:

The location is good, 15 min away from the city center. The room was also OK with clean sheets and comfortable mattresses.

Cons:

I’ve been to hostels/hotels with shared bathrooms all over the world and never had a bathroom so dirty and smelly. We stayed for 5 nights and the bathroom was never cleaned. They emptied the trash bin and replaced the toilet paper every other day, but the rest was in a state that forced us to buy cleaning products so we could tolerate showering and using the toilet or the sink. The kitchen was in the same condition with very dirty equipment.

Cosy stay, love the vibe of the common areas too!
Pros:

Very comfortable bed (mattress) and clean room. About 20min walk from Centro…nice to see the streets in between to discover many cool local spots. And close to the carretera that can take you to Tule etc.

Cons:

There seemed to be an echo in the building. Like when the guest next door would close the door. But the hardest was the guests upstairs on my second night…they were talking very loud and it vibrated through the walls…even with the windows closed (which I didn’t like that I had to close when I wanted fresh air). This was my only issue because I needed to sleep a because I had an early start the next morning.
