Es una muy buena opción pero el parqueo es dificil y si existen más huéspedes hay que parquear en fila y pedir que retiren el auto, molestoso pero manejable. Un punto que si no me agradò es el hecho de que existe un solo baño. Es dificil con una familia grande.

8.4/10 Very Good! (24 reviews)
Nice building clean apt. It would have been nice if there were shades on the kitchen windows or a curtain between the bedroom and kitchen. The bed frame is too large for the space and makes it difficult to move around in the bedroom.
