Martha is really nice and helpful

“Like staying with family”

It's not like staying at a hotel, instead it is like being invited to stay at a lived in family's home. For me it felt like being welcomed to become part of an extended family. Perfect for the sole traveler,go off during the day to do your own thing, but when you returned home there was companionship, good times and good laughs. For those backpacking and looking at hostels this is perfectly priced for you and provides you with the privacy of your own bedroom to unwind. Part of travelling is to experience foreign culture. Staying at Casa Martha immersed me in Latino culture in a way you won't experience in a hostel with like minded people, or by staying at a hotel where you observe another's culture at arms length. I don't speak Spanish, but that never felt like a problem, Google translate, some hand gestures whilst conversing got me by here. They speak some English and some guests spoke both English and Spanish fluently and were happy to translate during drinking and games. There was a lot of singing also. A short taxi ride from the airport. The train to the city isn't that far of a walk. There is a bus route that stops along the main road. Food options everywhere from McDonald's and KFC, to restaurants and street food vendors. I did a lot of walking (playing Pokemon Go) and not once did I feel unsafe walking through the suburb at night.

Very friendly family
