I want to make this as detailed as possible since I did see some things in other reviews I didn’t necessarily agree with or could be discouraging to people.
The location is PERFECT! There are so many places to eat and great things go see nearly... if you want the best tacos of your life there is Taqueria Orinoco that’s a 12 minute walk from the apartment.. seriously, best tacos ever.
The ladder locks into holes so it is 100% safe and it is obvious as to where to attach it so you don’t get hurt. I was there alone so I just slept on the couch. I’m 5’9 and was fine, I think it may be difficult if you’re over 6’ tall.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the bathroom and wore flip flops in there the each time, it is an efficiency apartment so nothing much that can be done. It had the necessities. There is a slight smell of the pipes, but nothing horrible, and you’re in an old Art Deco building... I feel like it’s not a shocker that it’s not brand new. I never had issues with hot water running out quickly or the door.
There were plenty of extra. Lots of dishes, bathroom amenities, Etc.
Like other people said, it does sort of get loud. I brought ear plugs and an eye mask and was able to sleep in every morning without issue. I felt safe in the building at all times and the area the apartment is in.
Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone and would love to stay again. Mariana was quick to respond to any questions I had and was able to help me when I misread directions and couldn’t find the key when I arrived late. She was an amazing host!
Great location, SAFE location, and amazing host... what more could you ask for?!?
