Best areas to stay

SM 22 / Mercado 28 area

Busy, functional, and useful for shopping and eating rather than lingering. This is one of the clearest places to see the city’s daily rhythm. Best for travelers who want markets, cheap meals, and straightforward access to downtown. The trade-off is noise and less polish after dark.
