What a nice character place this was. Lupita was a full A++ on communication and responded immediately after I wrote.
I did not get to meet her but the place was as expected. Beautiful character home in a great location for all the sites and close enough to downtown if you wanted to walk (30 mins or so). Lots of eats, bakeries, beer stores, close by.
I don't remember seeing this on the listing, but the property is clearly an apartment that Lupita owns that was maybe a long term rental once? But now hosts travellers. It's not a room in her home as much as more of a private room in a 'hostel' type setup. The time I was there there were many other travellers through - all whom where really nice and some more social than others. There were four rooms upstairs and others were using downstairs so not sure how many rooms down there.
All the amenities are there - including use of the full kitchen and fridge which was handy. But you also have only one bathroom. While there were 6/7 of us there there wasn't a huge problem with the wait times, people were very respectful. Despite the amount of traffic, the place was also very clean and well maintained.
The room had everything you needed and more. The TV and Netflix was a added bonus! Towels were provided which was sweet and I especially liked the soap and shampoo in the bathroom. The bed was majestic.
All in all I would stay there again. It would have been great to meet Lupita in person - maybe next time! Thanks Lupita!
