I stayed at Raul’s place a bit over the month, and have to say it’s been one of my favorite BnB’s
Location:
Safety - The area felt very safe day and night, it’s heavily touristed, so you never really feed alone. The area also had a surprisingly few amount of homeless which was quite nice. The building itself is security with a full time security guard/doorman and double door entrance.
Area: located in the heart of China town with great food & lots of people it’s very lively (don’t worry - apartment is mostly sound proof). Within 5 mins walking is the center historical area with beautiful buildings and unlimited restaurants. You’re 10 mins from a great market, 12 mins from a grocery store and 3 mins from 7/11 (walking). A short drive from the rest of the city as well.
BnB:
Communal areas - the rooftop is well kept and very nice for dinner or relaxing, there is also a communal working/sitting area with good WiFi. The gym only has cardio equipment, but there is a smart fit within 5 mins and a park gym within 10. Laundry room works well and is 10 pesos.
The room: the room is small, but feels large with many storage areas and mirrors. It’s decorated wonderfully and tastefully. Water pressure is great, water heater works well, all appliances work. WiFi is consistent and fast. Really no complaints, everything was great.
Raul is a responsive and attentive host.
Book this AirBnB. It’s your best choice :)
