Etel's place is my fave so far!
Neighborhood: It is located just a 5 min walk from the subway. This subway can take you anywhere in the city for 5 pesos! The downtown area is super close, the airport is ~15 min away (depending on traffic). The area feels safe in general, and I was stunned about how quiet it is, considering how close it is to a main avenue. There are small stores just around the corner in case you need a snack or water, a Walmart 1 subway station away and lots of places to eat nearby. There are also a couple of gyms nearby. I used to live near this location for a reason :)
The apt: Aunt Etel's house is a very comfy, cozy, pretty, and completly independent apartment. You open the door and have to go up the spiral stair, but this stair feels safe and sturdy. The living/dinning room is nice and clean, very well lit and spacious, even though is cozy. You have a gas stove and all you need for cooking, also a full sized fridge. There are many windows that provide good ventilation.
I liked that the room is separated from the other areas by a walkway. It has a full closet, drawers and a nice bed. Not cloudlike soft, but I like it that way and slept very well. Enough outlets and a small TV. Also a not-so-noisy ceiling fan in case it gets warm. You can even feed the birds through the window!
The bathroom is nice and clean, you have to turn on the heater before showering but pressure is good and Etel left shampoo, soap and towel for me.
Etel is a great host, very polite and swift to respond my messages. She even suggested places to eat that where 10/10. I had the chance to have coffee with her and her delightful mother. I am grateful to meet such nice people.
There are small details about the place but it is newly listed and Etel is working diligently to fix those. Honestly, I would look to stay here every time I come back to the city! I strongly suggest you do the same! :)
