Little gem

Lovely place with rooms around an open air courtyard. Good location close to the old town. Took me a while to figure out the front door lock. Worked much better when I read the instructions properly!

Great location but very no frills

It's fine. Location is amazing and that is the appeal. Service is minimal and unconventional. It stormed extremely hard the first night we stayed and unfortunated some water leaked into the room from both the ceiling tile and the window; this caused some of my devices to get wet. I notified to property and they didn't even bother to respond. The check-in process isn't ideal but it isn't horrible. The front door code pad is frustrating to say the least. The listing says laundry on-site--it isn't. It's a laundromat 2 doors down on the main road.

We had one night stay, the room was cozy but had everything we needed, was clean and quite fresh during the night, we didn’t used the aircon. The host, Felipe super friendly, waited for us for a late check in. The price was fairly cheap considering the location, city centre, full of pubs and clubs.
