Pedro was friendly, and he seemed like a nice host. Fair enough that the bathroom and kitchen weren't as clean as expected because of the price. The host and the place weren't the issue.
Although when a taxi driver dropped me, he said to look out for pickpockets and that this is an unsafe area. I was travelling solo and for me this was alarming. Even next morning, sreets seemed dangerous and uncomfortable to walk alone. I was scared of the idea alone that I would need to come back when it's dark, so I had to cancel this booking.
Overall, if you are not afraid of seemingly dangerous areas and shady looking people, or you travelling not alone, Pedro and his apartment are quite alright to stay for a couple of nights. But if you are travelling alone and want to feel safe when you go outside, I do not recommend it just because of the neighbourhood.
