This place is about what you should get for the price. Overall it was clean, small, somewhat close to attractions, and Paulo was responsive. Here are the reasons I took off 2 stars:
1. The noise was unbearable. In my 3-night stay I did not sleep at all (and I’m not a light sleeper). I realize this is somewhat out of their control, but the lack of air conditioning requires you to sleep with the doors/windows open. It doesn’t seem like a busy street, but there is a ton of noise (especially at night) that doesn’t get drowned out by music/TV/earplugs. FYI - the garbage truck barrels down the street at 5am.
2. Even though the place was clean, there were tiny ants concentrated in the bathroom and parts of the bedroom. I didn’t notice them at first until they ended up in my clothes, on my towel, in the bed, and then on my legs/feet.
I would pay a little extra to avoid these issues and be a little closer to the city center.
