The area was walkable to shops and restaurants. The room is in an apartment building, and our check in instructions weren't great so we were looking around for how to get into the building, as it was gated. Luckily, a neighbor let us in, and told us where to go when we mentioned Epoca suites. Full disclosure, the apartment building looks sketchy from the outside as the stairs/hallways have peeling paint. Our apartment was roomy, and very clean though.
I wish there had been a whatsapp number to call or an email to stay in communication with, as the front desk staff is not always there, and there is no way to get a hold of them if there's an emergency, etc.
