We have stayed for years at La Grand Mansion on Danae. RD$500 for one bed, RD$750 for two beds. 9 rooms. Bath, fan, no ac or tv. When we stay there, we walk to the Conde almost every day. Tel 809-682-2033 or 809-689-8758.

There are several other small, inexpensive hotels on same street.

The hotel, by the way, located on a quiet street off Independencia.

Both Gazcue and Zona Universitaria are technically within walking distance. In reality, the heat of day might mean you'd be pushing it to walk from the Zona U, but to and from Gazcue should be no problem. Both are fairly shady districts and the walk can be very pleasant if you avoid the middle of the day and plot a route through the quieter streets.

There is public transport running up and down the two main avenues that cut through these two neighbourhoods (Av. Independencia - eastbound and Av. Bolivar - westbound) to and from Parque Independencia (Conde).
