I ended up at booking a hotel once I walked in. Before I share more I want to let you know that the host was very responsive and did refund my money.
I first felt concerned by some homeless on the street as I arrived late from the airport and no one else was on the street. The guards in the building are 24-7 and they were very nice and helpful. As a solo traveler I want to limit my exposure to situations/areas like that at night.
Once I walked in I saw the floor was dirty and there were baby roaches on the counter and backsplash of the kitchen.
Given that the vibe on the street already didn’t sit well with me, the roaches just set me off since I was looking forward to a nice clean place for 3 nights. I ended up at Hotel Ismael nearby.
