Perfect location and can't beat the price considering the neighborhood. Be prepared for a climb. It is worth it but there are a lot of steps (high ceilings). The place is very old which gives it a certain charm and is perfect for the back packing type of traveler. My room didn't lock from the inside, but you could padlock it when you leave. The bed was comfortable. Mercedes is very nice and laid back. She gave me breakfast when I arrived, even though it was well after noon! I was hungry so appreciated that.
