El trato de los dueños es excelente, siempre amables y presentes, nos dieron tips y consejos para movernos. Con excepción de la señora que limpia y a veces hace el desayuno, muy descortés, grosera y gritona. Quitaba el agua caliente, cerraba los baños con llave y le habla mal a los huéspedes. Felicidades a los dueños que gracias a su atención tuvimos días maravillosos 👏

Me tocó el cuarto que da al patio. Si abro la cortina todos pueden mirar adentro. De noche la lámpara de la calle alumbraba el cuarto. El ventilador en el baño estaba colgado. Hacia ruido pero no servia de nada. Un lampara sobre un mueble no estaba enchufada. Para enchufarla tenía que llevarla a una esquina en donde no servia.
