Overall a great budget! Description for the most part is accurate. Yes its loud, no AC (heat wave during my stay), outdated and an overall basic design... However you simply cant beat the location for doing things in SM. Be aware that there is a large number of transients in and around the entrance to the building at night. I in fact found the door blocked by passed out drunks on multiple occasions. In addition there was quite a large amount of police activity in the area. Not sure how much the holiday weekend affected this, but definitely not cleanest city by any means. That said none of this is the hosts fault. Understanding the above facts before hand, your stay should be enjoyable!
