Arnel’s place was great. It was in the heart of downtown, so anything you need is within walking distance. It is a small apartment, but still very comfortable. Prior to my trip I had read reviews that stated hearing street noise over night while trying to sleep and that there was a decent size homeless population around the apartment. Neither of the two were an issue for my friend and I. The noise of traffic and crosswalk signs are very mild and hardly noticeable. The homeless individuals were no bother at all. Personally, I would have no issue staying at Arnel’s place again.
