Guest Houses in Santo Domingo

Wonderful host, who are always on secure premises - she makes meals for guests and has several snacks and drinks, as it’s unsafe to walk around and there are no eateries close by. Property had security gates, due to the neighborhood. Taxi driver reiterated the entire area near the Cruise Port is basically unsafe. Taxi fare was equivalent to US$8 and he accepted USD, need to ask upfront if USD is acceptable. (Host has a Taxi friend charging US$5) My husband and the other couple who were booked here, all walked with the Host to a market 30 min downhill downtown. No way could they have made the steep walk back, especially with heavy groceries, so they took a Taxi back. Good value when catching a cruise, as no hotels nearby. Friendly host family!
