Adam and Tita’s home was a good price for what you get, but I’m not sure I would recommend it. Please read the whole review.
I will say that Adam was great at communicating and sent us instructions on getting to the house, and was very fast to respond. He was also accommodating when we wanted to extend our stay another day. Check-in was easy and Tita met us and gave us a tour of their home. The bus stop right outside the house services many routes.
However, as stated in other reviews, the house is old which means a couple things: when we visited during summer it was hot with no fans or AC, the shower is small, the ceilings are low, and much of the house could use renovation. Everything was very clean though.
The neighborhood is not that great, which is out of the host’s control, but still worth mentioning. During the times we were home we heard a siren about every 15 minutes, even during the night which sometimes made it hard to sleep. There is a tennis court right behind the house which also contributes to the noise (there was a tournament until 10pm one night we were there). One night we also heard a woman screaming for help for a few minutes and saw the tennis players take off running to figure out what was happening.
Overall, I would say that if you’re on a budget this is a decent place to stay. With an Oyster Card you can catch a bus to almost anywhere in the city from right outside the house. However, it might be worth spending a little extra money to be closer to the city and in a more modern house.
