We stayed at Victor's place for a week and the best way to put it is you get what you pay for. He was nice enough and gave us a ride to the bus on his way to the beach. The room was clean and locked when we got there. The wifi is also very good. However the rest of the common areas were very dirty. In a week the garbage was not taken out nor were floors cleaned at all. Essentials are said to be provided. When we asked for hand soap and dish soap, to replace the empty ones when we arrived we were told if we were too poor that he would get some be otherwise it was a cost that added up too much. Another couple stayed one night and left (assuming from messy common areas they complained about). Roosters at times can be extremely loud but that is a region aspect you need to accept. Kitchen is basic and we had no issue with it but know that it is a microwave, hot plate, and minimal dishes and cutlery ( 1 knife, 2 cups, 3 plates, etc.). You are allotted a shelf both in fridge and shelf. All in all the cheapest place you likely will find and if you want to cook and save some cash best deal I have seen.
