The host didn't mind that I came at 6am, eventhough check in time is 3pm. They even try to get me a room as soon as a bed was freed up. In going the extra mile, they let me stay in the reception room and offered me breakfast at the pantry - mind you, I wasn't officially a guest yet. Pedro and Laura was kind and helpful. The hostel building was homey and classic, while situated really strategically near the Chinese Theatre.
