This is an inexpensive accomodation but it does come with difficulties. There is an external gate which is locked at night and on the weekend, with no sign for the accomodation and no way of contacting them except via phone. We were able to get up only when some neighbours took pity on us and helped us through and to yell at the people inside over the wall. Kitchen is in an outdoor enclosed area which the cat eats up on. Gas hot water needed us to disconnect/reconnect gas bottle ourselves.

This was the first time I ever walked out the first night of an accom.Location is nice enough but this was the dirtiest accom I’ve ever seen.Dishes laying across the kitchen & garbage on the floors.The bathrooms don’t have hot water, shower heads aren’t attached,door didn’t lock.Owner only speaks Spanish but refused to cooperate with GoogleTranslate to communicate.“Upgraded” us without asking & then wanted us to pay the private room price,then added another random couple into our “private” room?

Can't reccomend this place enough! Definitely the most authentic and best value stay you can find in Valparaíso. Andres and Lorena are great hosts, going above and beyond with their kindness and hospitality! Don't expect some fancy hostel, it is a rustic but comfortable accaccomodation. If you look for an authentic experience, great value and a central place to stay, look no further!
