The host was very friendly and helpful and it was very easy to check in.
The neighborhood is very dirty. The homeless people are in no way aggressive or contact-seeking. The feeling of going to the hotel is still uncomfortable and unpleasant - especially when the sun has gone down.
The room was more worn than we expected even though it is clearly a budget hotel. There were stains on the sheets that did not go away and the shower floor was dirty - bring slippers.
