“In Getsemani, this place puts you right where you want to be-a stone's throw from the action, and they're quick with helpful info once you connect on WhatsApp. I think it's a solid, budget-friendly option, just be aware the neighborhood's nightlife vibe comes with some serious noise. A good choice if you plan to be out late anyway.”
