Location: Great, safe neighborhood. You are next door to a superfood store and a few steps away from a convenience store (it has everything from water to feminine hygiene products). On Fri through Sun, the neighborhood corner turns into a bustling area of street food during the day. Wake up early, watch the vendors set-up, and wait for the smell of the meat hitting against the oil. You are also a few minutes (10-15 min) walk away from El Moro, Panaderia Rosetta, and etc.
Hospitality: Jamil and his co-host were kind and responsive. There was an unfortunate situation that happened and was difficult to resolve given the language barrier. However, I was able to get a hold of Jamil's co-host. She remained calm and walked me through the situation. Words cannot express how grateful I am to meet such wonderful people, including the front-desk staff. There is a gentleman who works the night shift until 9AM who was helpful and supportive. Also, a plus that some of the staff are english-speaking!
Comfortability/Design: The place is a 3 level loft. When you first enter the place, you will be greeted by stairs that will take you up to the first room, then living space (2nd level), and last is the 2nd bedroom (3rd level). Outside of the rooms having their own floor, there are no doors to the rooms because it is more of a loft style. I did not mind this at all as I felt there was privacy.
