I've stayed at Macro House for two separate stints now and for anyone who is social, adventurous and looking to be a part of a vibrant, diverse community, I can't recommend it enough. If you want to stay in an affordable hostel-like place, duck your head and keep to yourself, you'd get along just fine here - with a comfortable, positive living space- but the real beauty of Macro is the array of different experiences and perspective mixed together here. Plus, weekly 'family' dinners and social hours, there's ample opportunity to learn about the city and the world.
