En general es un alojamiento agradable, las instalaciones son bonitas y son idénticas a las fotos, estaba ordenado y limpio al interior, el baño estaba bien dotado y en general es un sitio y casa lindo, lo único que recomiendo es que al ser en un sótano, la entrada estaba sucia, llena de hojas y basura acumulada y no había ni una escoba para recoger, en la entrada se acumulan muchos mosquitos, moscas y telarañas por lo cual al abrir la puerta se metían los bichos, podrían dotarlo un poco más con cosas para cocina y siempre está prendido el aire por lo que en la noche puede hacer mucho frío y no puedes apagarlo, se metían hace caro para lo que ofrece, pero en general es un lindo lugar.

Generally our stay at as positive, but there were some annoying elements that guest should be aware of. Firstly there is no cutlery, crockery or anything of the sort. We went and purchased plastic. Also there is nothing to make coffee with in the morning, not even coffee cups/ mugs which we also purchased. We were asked to placed our trash in the outside bins, but they were inaccessible which meant we left behind a few bags of trash. We also didn’t have a bath mat to dry up the water from the shower. The place is nice but it needs some additional items to make it comfortable and meeting basic expectations.
