For starters, this listing could be labeled as private home, which is a total plus!
This is the cutest, most quaint space/suite/mini-flat you can get in the area for the price that you are getting; it's great. While it is located on a major street (a good thing for those that may be more concerned with safety), it is very accessible and not noisy. When you arrive, the complex of homes is behind a locked gate. You will get to meet Mariel and Pablo at this point. They are great, hospitable and totally will not interfere with any of your plans, yet are ready to help you shall you need it. The "room" is sooooo comfortable for 2 ppl, with access to a roof-top patio (equipped with table and chairs, a wash sink, and another "chill" area for relaxing)....again, you should just consider it your private flat for the time your stay here. The room has a full/queen bed, a table, a station for smaller items , a wash sink, and a full-use bathroom! Mariel and Pablo are amazing! I will definitely be staying here again in the future...because we will be back! The community outside is centrally located and across from a University; great access to bus and train; less traffic than in most of the city; amazing street-food vendors up and down the area; Uber is readily available; oh, and there is pretty good coffee available right outside of the complex. If i haven't sold you yet, I am not sure what will!
The only negative: you have to walk up slim, very tall, windy, iron stairs to access and get to the flat. If you are afraid of heights, this may be a bit much; but, weight, height and other any other concerns, weren't an issue at all. Once you get up that a first time, its all good. Other minor details is that there is some construction being done next door, but there is minimal noise that comes from the location.
