Josue’s place was perfect for what I needed: a clean place in a good location at a competitive price. The size of the room was ok for one person. Checkin was via a lockbox with code that had keys for the doors. Everything was in working order. Bed was comfortable. The kitchen area had a sink, refrigerator and microwave that was good for reheating leftovers and cleaning up. Bathroom was small, but the space was utilized well. Some of the neighbors have animals like dogs, cats and roosters. I thought it was cool to see, but could be an issue for those with animal allergies.
The neighborhood was good and reminded me of Sunset Park in NYC. The people I talked to on the streets and stores were welcoming and friendly. Murals scattered around the area were cool. The train was about a block away which was really convenient. It only took about 15 min to reach the loop area.
