This place wasn't the cleanest and people said it wasn't the best neighborhood. However, I stayed for a week and it was better than my own neighborhood. It was quiet and no one bothered anyone. I didn't stay out too late but the street car was the best transportation. This place has everything you need except for a proper kitchen sink so we just used our bath to do dishes. We could have used a new hot plate but we only really made breakfast. The neighborhood looks intimidating but everyone minds their business and you'll only ever be woken up to birds chirping. Roberto was also very kind and helpful with whatever directions or information we needed. I would say this place just needed a good scrub down to be perfect.
