Other Things to Note:
This is an urban spot with real city sounds. You may hear music from the bar below, street chatter, or the occasional late-night buzz. If you’re sensitive to noise, this might not be your jam. But if you’re here for the vibe, the location can’t be beat. Think of it as part of the experience.
The apartment is located above a kava bar known for mellow vibes and community hangouts. While it’s generally chill, there may be live music or social gatherings that carry upstairs. We provide earplugs just in case, but if you’re a light sleeper, consider bringing your own sound setup.
This is a true efficiency—compact and minimal. There’s no full kitchen, but you’ll find the basics to prep light meals or reheat leftovers from one of the many nearby spots. The space is best suited for short stays and adventurous spirits who value location over luxury.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
I would not recommend this property. Just a few highlights of why I feel this way. The lock on the door from the outside was very difficult to read both in the dark and when the sunshine on it, the door jam, and the whole surround had very much playing in it, and could easily have been broken into, we found a large bug in the bathroom the first day and the shower was unacceptable as far as the cleanliness. The pictures that were on the listing were not what we found in the unit, especially the size of the bed, the only bed. It was shown and listed as a king size bed, and was not- it was a queen size bed. The host suggested that we sleep on the couch out in the other room, but there are only shears on the windows and lights on next-door all night. Also, there is a dog bar across the street and there is barking all day until 8 PM and then whoever occupies the other unit in the building plays music until 3 o'clock in the morning. Overall, it is just not an acceptable option for travelers. Safety and cleanliness are the biggest issues.
