Would recommend Mabel’s place for anyone visiting BA. It was comfortable and spacious with two rooms (living and sleeping) and a small kitchen and bathroom.
Pros:
- great location
- air conditioning
- friendly and responsive host
- price
- fast Wi-Fi
- she has adapter for US plugs
Cons:
- not a lot of space to hang or organize clothing
- kitchen is small and warm, no microwave
- door to enter the housing complex has to be locked from the inside too, so I felt like someone could have followed me inside the complex easily, I felt safe, but could be a problem since a few times there were people hanging outside the entrance
- I saw a cockroach outside the door to the apartment and another in the entry to the complex. Mable’s brother quickly came to spray around my door and killed the roach, which are commend in BA, but it still scared me. To clarify, there were none inside the unit, but I didn’t like seeing it!
