The neighbourhood looks bad, but the casa is immaculate. At least one of the rooms has a huge private balcony It is run by Andres and Carmen and they are super friendly and accommodating (no English spoken). It was cheaper than other casa particulars ($20 - $25) Private bathroom. Full cooked breakfast for a few dollars more. Full use of kitchen. Owners happy to shop for you (with no mark up!) Right across the street is a great pizza restaurant. Cheese and onion pizza (the best I have ever eaten) $0.50! 2 blocks from John Lennon Square. more
