When I first arrived I msgd the host but didn’t receive a response to any of my msgs and my calls were rejected...I waited about half an hour then rang the bell and some random guy popped his head over the balcony and came down to meet me. He was very polite, gave me the keys and introduced himself as Juan, but it was all a bit strange given Penelope had not advised me of this situation, then she msgd me over an hour later ‘Did you find Juan? Just got your msg’...would have been very frustrating if I hadn’t taken initiative. Given she was very prompt with responses up to and after this day I found very strange.
The room was clean enough but missing glass on one of the windows so it was freezing every night, the fly screen was broken too so had a lot of mosquito bites, didn’t really see the point of locking my door when I left since anyone could just climb in through the window.
The WiFi constantly dropped in and out so used my mobile data most of the time. All in all this was not the most pleasant of experiences, I would only recommend if you are stopping by for a layover.
Also the lady who cleans and provides ‘service’ (Veronica?) was very intimidating and made me feel very uncomfortable whenever I ran into her on the incredibly steep narrows stairs. Be warned, it is super difficult to manage these stairs if you have anything larger than a backpack, something I was not warned of prior to checking in.
