When I booked, I was not expected a kind of "rooming house," but after a few days, that was fine, as the other people staying there were friendly and before I left I was swapping contact information. It was never busy or too many people in the kitchen or noise, so, a perfect place from which do to tourist things (not what I was there for). Super quiext at night in a lovely neighborhood of homes, and close to public transportation. Lilia is very friendly, as is Manuel. There is a little system for letting them know if you will be out late, so you will not be locked out. May take a moment to get used to, so, beware. But its no big deal.
