A casa é muito agradável, com boas condições. O aspeto mais negativo foi a limpeza superficial, talvez porque no momento de entrada, a empresa ainda estava a fazer a limpeza, mesmo sendo 19h. Papel higiénico ficou um rolo incompleto em cada casa de banho e apenas deixaram dois panos de cozinha, para uma semana. Todavia, a avaliação global é claramente positiva e recomendamos o alojamento.
