Pros:
+ Friendly and available host
+ Price
+ Check-in was easy and flexible
+ Very nice view from balcony
Cons:
- Very noisy building and street
- Smells from the street
- Pool was closed during the whole stay which was not communicated
- Cockroaches in the kitchen sink
As I lived in SA for a while, the cons were tolerable for a week (although a bummer), but for longer or for a tourist having no idea what to expect these might be deal breakers.
