The place was in a good neighborhood but I would NOT recommend staying here. There is NO hot water, even after asking the host to fix the problem. The noise on the street is very loud as you are right off one of the main avenues. This is a shared space, the host lives there full time with a friend and they were quite loud. If you are looking for a hostel experience, this is it, but I would recommend staying at a hostel instead as it is much cheaper and probably has hot water.
