"Muy bonita, limpia y acogedora. Lo único que le haría falta es calefacción a la picina. Llegamos a las 3pm y esa agua estaba de nevera, así q no pudimos usarla, pero ya que pagué obviamente porq tenía picina privada, al otro dia la usamos así d congelada, como 20 mins. porq de verdad estaba fría y hacía mucho viento, pero por lo demás, super bien. Buen trabajo al dueño del lugar. "
