Translation of nicho

Since it had no wind and no turbulences at all we landed right on time. I had an entire afternoon until my connection to Havana and decided to spend it in the duty free shops, or in the restaurants.
When I finally arrived at my destination I still had the task of finding an accommodation. As my acquaintances where with me we started looking together, however we discovered that we were not on the same budget.
By the way, after my horrible experience I had changed the hostel. The place was not really better but much more quiet and near the Ocean. I woke up with the sound of a siren. It was the police.
