This is not a place for everyone - it has a few quirks and is in a quite noisy and mixed good/bad area. The noise does not matter to me as I sleep with headphones on, but for others, you can expect to be kept awake until about 2 AM.
The bed that other reviews complained about - was fine - or had been replaced and was quite comfortable.
My biggest concern was that the windows would not close. This left me uncomfortable about leaving my computer and other electronics in the room when going out. And if my wife had been with me, she would have demanded that we stay elsewhere.
Other points - that the immediate area is a bit artsy - very true and quite interesting.
If you want to be within only a few minutes (maybe five minutes?) of driving across the border to the USA border, then this is a great location for that.
Downstairs there is a great pizza shop, taco shop, bar, and coffee shop all within 45 seconds (or less) walk from your room.
The area - to the uninitiated, can seem a bit shady, but when you realize that the customers of the all the shops downstairs are middle-/upper-class Mexicans (not drunken gringos out for a border visit), you can see that this is a quite decent area.
I was just passing through on the way elsewhere and wanted to cross the border to the USA very early, so I was not able to explore other than the immediate area.
I can see and appreciate that the host is trying to create a nice space for visitors and I wish him success. The guards downstairs were friendly and positive.
After staying in many AirBnB places on both sides of the border over many years, this place left me with mixed feelings. Great for the adventurous, not so good for the cautious and careful.
For the same price, there are entire houses in gated areas in other parts of TJ. I chose this place due to its quick access to the border. You would need to weigh your priorities in deciding for this versus other locations.
