The room was great, location was perfect. I loved the loft vibe and exposed brick. It would have been a 5 star review if the TV was working. We couldn't get the TV to turn on.

Le daría un 5 estrellas. Pero como es general le quito la estrella que falta por no tener el agua caliente de la ducha. Está tibia ni caliente. Recuerdan donde vivimos y el frío que hace para no tener un ma ducha caliente que darte. Por todo lo demás me encantó
