Dog bothering
The property is in a good location, the only bad thing is the dogs at the main entrance, the owner of the property was upset when we asked him to please put his dogs away, because they were barking at us and were aggressive. I just want it to prevent the dogs to attack at us.

Truly Local Experience
My wife and I loved our stay. It’s a great value and the location is perfect. The place was clean and convenient. The balcony has a view of the ocean and the Malecón. We were able to walk easily to Zona Romántica where there is great food and entertainment. There is a bit of a stair climb to the apartment so if you are not of good walking health, this wouldn’t be the place for you. But if you love to walk and experience the local culture of a place, for the money, this place is a great value and I would highly recommend.

Very dirty and infested
It was a catfish job. Extremely dirty the microwave and kitchen has never been cleaned. Cobwebs everywhere, poor stained sheets and bedding. Half the lights burnt out could not even read. The front door is not safe. Locks broken. You lock with an outside lock. Which is fine until you get locked in. There is no other way out. Good location lots of steps that they don’t tell you. It was fine for me but was the equivalent of three flights of steps to enter. I decided to make the best of it. So I got some cleaning supplies and cleaned. I spent several hours. Problem is it just disturbed all the bug infestations. I wish I can include photos -shocking I had to leave. I sent the manager and offsite owner the appalling pictures. They both agreed to refund but nothing has come. Playing cat and mouse trying to avoid the situation.

Wonderful stay - 5 minute walk to town
The apartment was very clean and we really enjoyed our stay there. It was a short walk to the main strip with lots of restaurants and bars. From there you could also book lots of day time trips. The apartment is an easy 20 minute walk to the Zone Romantica, which has lots of beach space to enjoy the sunshine. Hosts were extremely helpful and had really good communication throughout! Would recommend and would definitely stay there again! :)

Great place and location!
I loved Gaby’s place! It is conveniently located to pretty much everything you need: little convenient stores, pharmacy, restaurants/bars and Malecon. Check in was very smooth so was check out. I was even able to cook a few meals myself when i was there. Place was clean, roomy and had AC, which was super important during the hot weather. Definitely will stay there again!
