Hace un año me hospedé y fue un estancia agradable pero, en esta ocasión no. Estaba el loft sucio y descuidado por ejemplo, estaba un pedazo de piso de la escalera sobrepuesto, la sala estaba toda sucia y olía mal, el foco del patio estaba fundido, tuve que pedir una plancha, solo dejaron un cobertor pequeño para 3 camas y cuando le solicité más a la persona de limpieza me comentó que no, que no manejaban más que puras sábanas… Mala experiencia porque olía mal, a sucio
