Gava Hostel

A young and friendly Russian couple, Valentina and Andrey, run this tiny hostel (and share its common areas with guests) set on a quiet residential street between Los Corales and El Cortecito. There are just four dorm beds and one private room. It's small (and water pressure low), but the hospitality is sweet, and the private room is large and welcoming – if you can manage to snag it.
