MLA 30 minutes with no traffic. Perhaps over an hour with traffic. And perhaps 1.5 on the bus in traffic. This is a very, very, clean, safe and well located place for someone on a budget. The bus transit can get you anywhere on the island and the bus stop is a 5 minute walk. I learned you can download the app Taxify, it works like UBER except you pay cash, to get around as well. The beach is a 10-12 minute walk as well as restaurants and bars. The location is excellent, as with anywhere on the island b/c of public transportation. You get a key to the home and downstairs building door to come and go as you please. I was a bit concerned coming in late to not disturb the host or other guest in room attached to mine. The 2 rooms attached are connected by a sliding door-no way to lock the room. I personally prefer a room I can lock. The room I had was small, cute and clean. And for me, it could have worked better if the bed was more comfortable and not squeaky. The bed was too squeaky. I felt like everyone could hear me move around in it, especially the guest in the room attached. And the room could have worked better, if the fan in the room was a bigger one b/c the room gets very hot and the small fan did not help. Sorry I was forced to shower twice a day, at night and morning b/c of the heat. There's a lot of noise on the outside when one tries to sleep with the windows open. I think I was there while they were doing construction work near the building as it was extremely loud and I was awaken every morning by loud work outside, so it messed up my sleeping pattern, and I slept in late, starting my days later. To sleep with the windows open, you have to deal with noises at night, but then very loud noise in the a.m. early, that will wake you. But if heat & noise doesn't bother you, you will be fine. And to sleep with the door open that leads out to the patio, one may experience bugs coming in, otherwise I would have slept with patio door and windows open. If the room had air condition or a suitable fan and if it wasn't so noisy around the building, and a better bed, it would have been perfect. Bathroom very clean. The toilet was a bit challenging and the host showed me how to flush it-you have to flush a certain way, but I finally got the hang of it. I would have also preferred better towels-the towels didn't seem very fresh and a bit over used. However, the home is immaculately clean. Again, great stay for the price. And lastly, the walk from the bus stop to the place was very, very easy once you walk it...
