Aloja en la casa del artista y pintor
Pros:

La casa es hermosa, si investigas un poco la historia de Valparaíso o visitas el museo del inmigrante, te darás cuenta en la casa de quién estás alojando. Está cerca de lo mejor en Cerro Alegre. El personal es un amor, excelente servicio y atención.

Cons:

Si bien el desayuno no es malo, creo que este es el punto de mejora más importante, si se sube el estándar del desayuno y se agrega más variedad, creo que sería difícil superarlos.

Get the top room with terrace and views
Pros:

First two nights we had the top room with the terrace. Small room and dated bathroom but fantastic to have the terrace with view of the harbour.

Cons:

Breakfast was dreadful. They need to up their game on this one as it could be a fabulous stay if they did so.
