I really enjoyed my time here. The bed was comfy, the room had air conditioning and a ceiling fan, and there’s a tv mounted on the wall that you can pull out, angle, and adjust (though I never actually turned it on, they mentioned YouTube and Netflix so I thinks it’s a smart tv). Biggest amenity highlight was the shower head; it doesn’t detach but the pressure, power, and overall feel on my head and hair was very relaxing, like a scalp massage.
A couple things to note:
- the floor is a little creaky in the bedroom but the bathroom and hallway didn’t make sound that I remember
- the apartment is in a top floor but thankfully there is an elevator (slightly spooky) that I used for my bags. It does happen to be pretty darn slow 😅
- I saw one tiny bug in the bathroom and considering the location it’s not a big deal at all
- the fan and the light in the bathroom share one switch but there’s a window that can also help with ventilation
- the hosts speak some English but primarily speak Spanish and the apartment is in a predominantly Spanish-speaking area, which was amazing as an opportunity to immerse myself in the area’s cultures, find delicious food, and practice speaking another language. The hosts were kind and very welcoming and even offered me coffee when I was ready to check out. We had some nice conversation and I hope to return someday!
In summary, this is a great place for people who love to stay on a budget, meet new people, and explore new places. It’s also great for a night in. 10/10 would recommend.
