I spent a week at José’s place. Great location, easily accessible by public transportation, lots of shops and restaurants nearby (AMAZING Ecuadorian place called Piqueous 2 blocks away). The small room is perfect for solo travellers (super comfortable bed/pillows, storage, mirror) and the area felt safe. There wasn’t very much opportunity to interact with José, but he was very accommodating for my early check-in, which I really appreciated. Besides the bathroom which could have been a bit tidier, everything was great!
