PROS: The place is adorable and they provide great amenities for guests. They had a market on Saturday with local small businesses and foods. The pool and private area for guests was well maintained and a wonderful place to lounge during down time. CONS: We did have a gap in our door that let in a slight breeze and quite a bit of light. With that, I wish there was a chain lock along with the deadbolt. The street noise was a lot (loud cars and pedestrian). On our last night, we heard what we believe to have been gunshots a few blocks away. Despite those cons, we really enjoyed our stay and would return, maybe try a suite.

We loved our stay at El Vado! Such a cool unique spot. The food at Buon Provencho was delicious and the beers at The Taproom were great too! The patio and pool area in the middle are a cool option to relax, eat or socialize. There are also some cool boutique retails stores on one side.
