Bigmum Homestay — Hotel in San Juan

Ok, so let me get passed the negatives first. ||Hard to find.|Not the nicest of places|Not the tideiest of places|Noisey outside. ||Bad points done. But don't discard this place at all.||The rooms are fantastic and the price is excellent. The owner ( Forgot his name - could be Jilo) is an absolute wonderful man. He couldn't do anything else to accommodate us better. Offered advice on restaurants and places to stay. Offered to order taxis without being promoted etc and the best of all, we had to check out at 12pm and he let us stay till 8pm till we could get on our night bus to Guayaquill.||For the price and location it's a hidden gem. ||What do you want/expect When you're staying somewhere for $15 A night.
