Marcel’s place is so beautiful and is tucked away in a little corner up on the hill by the park. I really loved the paintings on the way and the bright lively colors of the halls. Marcel is a very kind and interesting host and I really enjoyed the time we spent together. There is an amazing market by his place (open only for a few hours each day) and their deli section is fantastic. This is a great place to stay if you’re traveling light or happy to take a cab only because it’s quiet a walk if you don’t take the local barrio bus. I loved walking around and up the hill and down the hill for delicious food. It’s a great area which is surprisingly central. Marcel is a very unimposing host who will be as present as you’d like. I’d go back just to hang out with Marcel and relax at his beautiful place! The sun the place gets is wonderful.
