4/10
The positive aspects of this property is that it is reasonably priced and in a great location close to the Mercat Central. On the other hand it feels like an underground bunker with three windows at lower street level which provide minimal light. There is no sound insulation so any outside noise feels like it within the apartment. We stayed 3 nights Monday thru Wednesday and the first night we barely slept due to the street noise, the other 2 nights were quiet, so be prepared especially during the weekend. To top it off roaches came out of the wall while my wife was taking a shower, the large water-bug types. We informed management and they said these were "prevelant" in this district of older buildings. Bring a bar of soap for the shower, only liquid hand soap provided, which is an open stall, no enclosure, so a mop and bucket is provided to clean the floor. This may be a good option for young, budget constricted travelers as you can fit 4 people in crash pad fashion. If you are out of the backpack stage as we are (but once were and loved it) spring for the extra money for better accomodations that include windows with a view. Our greeter Jorge was very helpful and informatiive.
