This room cost me $92.02 USD for a week. A great frugal find within walking distance to many landmarks and museums. I found the neighborhood to be safe. As mentioned in the video there is no hot water; this isn't rare in my experience at frugal locations in Latin America. I found the the place quite comfortable but yes spartan. On the other hand I have been living at home without hot water as well in the Blue Ridge Mountains. However I do enjoy hot water at my rafting outpost during the summer. Propane is very expensive and it would cost north of $900 to fill my tank at home.
Another con of this location was slow internet even by hillbilly standards but yes there is wifi included. I will be staying in a nicer location next as I have some remote work to do for my boss. I need a more work friendly location and a table or desk in my room to work at as well as faster internet. I really hope this video has been helpful and you find it useful. I would recommend this place to frugal travelers. Maybe not for the meek of heart or the entitled but river guides and experienced solo travels could dig it.

I primarily travel solo but you don't have to to enjoy this channel. Working as a river guide during summers in North America I don't earn a lot of money and live close to the federal poverty level. In spite of this I live a rich life on a frugal budget.
