Very central, yet peaceful location. I loved how you step through a nondescript door on a busy street to reach the hidden, colorful, and charming courtyard that contains Bernardo and Gitte’s apartment. During my stay, it was even specially decorated with lots of fake flowers and plants for the filming of a telenovela, Simplemente Maria, that was currently taking place.

Very spacious room with lots of storage space. Bernardo and Gitte are reliable, quiet, and respectful. Sharing the bathroom was never an issue. Both the bedroom and the bathroom were spotlessly clean. Good wifi. The shower worked well and there is a backup electric water heater if the water is not hot enough from the solar heater.

Recommend trying the paletas at La Michoacana “Los Primos” on the same street and at other locations in the neighborhood - they are fantastic.
