había que salir de la habitación, para respirar aire puro y dejar de sentir agobio claustrofóbico.
Pros:

restaurante

Cons:

la habitación en general, pequeña, sin ventilación (a menos que dejara la puerta abierta) y muchos insectos (moscas, arañas y mosquitos) aunque facilitaron bote de insecticida, uno a compartir para ambas habitaciones, olor penetrante a cerrado. En fin, no comparto la relación calidad/ precio, es mi opinión.

Un lugar con potencial, pero le falta mucho
Pros:

La ubicacion, rodeada de naturaleza y animales

Cons:

Olia mucho a humedad, la tv y el secador de pelo no funcionaban, habian 2 escarabajos enormes adentro y mucho mosquitos. Cuando llegamos se notaba que no habian preparado la habitación simplemente la hicieron despues de que se fueron los clientes anteriores y nunca mas pasaron por ahi. La puerta del baño fatal! Costaba la vida cerrarla, y ademas no cerraba bien. Las camas con los endredones sin funda, lllegamos y tuve que pedir las toallas por que olvidaron ponerlas. La cama con un colchon que me hundia. Creo que tiene mucho potencial el lugar, sería bueno ponerle un poco de cariño, por que es lindo

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

The flat smelled of mold and there was no hot water in the shower. Flat was also pretty different from the pictures they used on the ad, and had no patio or view as advertised. Also they don't clean it everyday. I staid 2 nights then when to a different place that costed the same price, and it was night and day. Wished I had gone there from day 1.
Lastly the reception is inside a restaurant nearby and is open really short times. The first time when I went there to get the keys the restaurant was really busy and it was stressfull
