Everything. Incredible value for money! Great location and fantastic , friendly staff. Shout out to Maria and Carlos who checked me in. Really fun people who speak English fluently . It was fantastic at the price I paid. I paid just an insignificant amount more for a private + breakfast here than what I did for my dorm bed at a hostel in a Favela.
