Liked: Room comfort
We liked the place because it was close to the Quinta avenida 5 minutes (5th avenue). Other than that it was pretty basic! The floor looked much better in the pictures but its just cement. It was smaller than it looked too, but mattress was comfortable! There’s a reason it’s cheaper than other places.

No cuentan con una limpieza diaria como lo son en los hoteles así como también no cuentan con una plancha esa plancha es compartida y tampoco cuentan con estacionamiento, es el estacionamiento de la calle gratuito ya que por ahora en esa calle no funciona el parking y no te cambian sábanas ni toallas tienes que pagar un costo extra. No recomendado si vas con una pareja.
