Edwin was a kind and thoughtful host. We really appreciated all he did for us. The location was perfect. Close to everything.
However, his place was challenging for us. We struggled with his checkin instructions. It would have been so much easier if there was a lock box. Also, our taxi could not drop us off or pick us up near his place because the road was closed or blocked off. Not such a great thing to drag suitcases down the road after 15 hours of flying. To enter his place there is a 1/2 flight of stairs to get in the front door. Then there were 2 flights of very narrow steep spiral staircases to get to the room. Very difficult to get luggage up to the room. Note that there was no fire escape if we needed to get out if there was a fire. (In the US the stairs situation would definitely not meet building codes.) I would not recommend this place if someone has any physical challenges. The location is incredibly noisy, all night and all day. A white noise machine in the room might help block the noise. It would be helpful if the room had several bottles of water and drinking glasses. To get some water we had to go down all those stairs then down the block to a store. A blow dryer for each room would be helpful. A USB port too.
