I have a feeling that the place we stayed in is not the place that was actually advertised and sounded quite different to the majority of reviews. The address given to use was of a little motel and we never actually met Maria.
We arrived at midnight and all I can say is that the location at that time was very unnerving - I felt really unsafe as there were just so many men hanging around on the street and down alleyways, thankfully I was traveling with my husband. During the day the location seemed a lot better and full of locals.
The young man at the place was kind and got us quickly into our room and provided breakfast the next morning. The room was clean and everything we needed for one nights stay.
It would have been nice if the host had told us that the place was going to be different than what was listed.
