Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

El baño: se salió el agua por debajo de la bañera y todo se encharcó. Era muy incómodo y asqueroso.
Las baldosas de la habitación estaban algunas sueltas.

Schöne, einfache Unterkunft in sehr guter Lage.
Pros:

Schöne, einfache Unterkunft im maurischen Stil. Wer nicht viele Luxus benötigt, ist hier richtig.

Cons:

Sehr dunkles Zimmer. Man fühlt sie sich ein bisschen wie im Keller.
