If you are looking for a place on a budget that is close to the metro, this is an OK option. Here are a few things to consider:
- the metro stop by this location is almost always so crowded that you can’t get on the metro. There were multiple times we had to push our way on, and some we couldn’t even get on. Don’t even try bringing your luggage!
- Walking, it takes about 30 minutes to get to the heart of the city with good shopping, good food, and markets
- The only window has metal shutters that you can unlock and open from the outside, which isn’t convenient. We ended up just keeping them shut the whole time for privacy as the room is underground and the windows are at eye level with the ground, so people walking by can see directly in, especially if the lights are on
- the shower head shoots water to the back wall and not on your body so you have to use it like a wand
- it’s right next to a medical office and in the morning, people leaving the complex are super loud and noisy
