The photos are very accurate. I highly recommend this place, especially for the budget traveler. I came with my dog and we enjoyed being able to walk everywhere. It was close to almost everything I wanted to see, and the metro is only a few minutes away for those further places. I loved all the restaurants and boutiques close by. Check in was a breeze, Coco displayed photos and a description. I read comments that the neighbors/outside was loud, I heard some noise, but nothing too loud. I honestly didn't notice it at all. It's a lively city and worth the price of the stay.
