We had a neat experience staying at Alfredo's place. It felt as if we were a part of the community and living like locals. As mentioned in the ad, there are a lot of trendy places around the area to hang out in and eat at including a super popular tortas street food vendor up on the street corner near the church.
Some tips to help you prepare for your stay:
-Bring warm clothes. Sometimes, it gets chilly at night and the apartment can get very cold.
-The dryer was out of commission when we stayed there as there was a recent incident but the washer works and he provides detergent!
-There is a blow dryer and ironing board and iron to use.
-There can be mosquitos at night if you leave the windows open.
-Bring your own toiletries.
-The hot water takes a while to come on and if you use it during busy times, it may not work or fluctuate. Maybe it was a fluke but it did happen to us a couple of times.
-There is a fully loaded kitchen and that was definitely helpful.
-Everyone who lives in the building is super friendly but they are also very cautious and practice safety. We felt very safe being around the area and with these neighbors.
-You are staying right next to a church so you will hear church bells ringing.
-There is a 7 Eleven across the street (super convenient) and a Starbucks down the road.
