PROS: easy enough check-in, newly remodeled, easy access to subway lines, washer works, quiet neighbors/neighborhood, El Rasto market is just around the corner, host is very friendly!
CONS: I think there was some miscommunication regarding when I would be checking in. I don't think the host was ready for me at the time I stated I would be there because he was still in the middle of cleaning, and then to make me comfortable quickly left thereafter. During check-in, a friend of the host stopped by with another man to borrow the extra single bed. Normally I wouldn't complain but as a solo female traveler, there are now three men who know I'm staying in this place alone. For the first two days, the shower wouldn't drain. I finally did some investigating thinking maybe something was caught in the drain...there was: a baseball sized glob of blonde hair and sludge. Thereafter, no problems with the drain. Ladies: if you like doing makeup and hair, don't bother here because there's only 1 mirror, a 12x3 inch mirror in the middle of the shower.
