Take that exit and keep going to the 3rd traffic light (Avenida De Diego). Tturn left (south) there.
Once at Avenida De Diego keep going south to next/first traffic light (Avenida Juan Ponce De Leon) and take a right there. Try to stay on your left line. NOTE: the very left/south line at Avenida Juan Ponce De Leon an exclusive one for buses so the closer one to it is the one you want to take.
Once at Avenida Juan Ponce De Leon go to the very first traffic light and make a LEFT at “the second street” to your left, (check for the red wall). NOTE: this intersection can be a little tricky. There are two left turns here. The first left turn will put you onto the highway. DO NOT turn here. The second left is immediately after the first and will take you south toward the hostel.
Keep going south til next traffic light, (Ave, Manuel Fernandez Juncos). Check for a yellow building, Ultima Parada; a 24hrs convenience store. Cross Ave. Manuel Fernandez Juncos and keep going straight forward to your second RIGHT onto Calle America.
