"Un lugar sin privacidad. La parte frontal de la habitaciĆ³n es de vidrio( Sucios) lo que expone a los huĆ©spedes a la mirada en todo momento de cualquier persona. Durante nuestra estancia habĆ­an trabajadores que acentĆŗaban aĆŗn mĆ”s este problema. AdemĆ”s, mantenĆ­an mĆŗsica y conversaciones a alto volumen. Parquear es todo un reto, especialmente con un coche grande y con otros coches en el parqueo. Para salir de la propiedad hay que bajar del coche y digitar un cĆ³digo, lo cual me parece una...

"The property manager and staff are lovely. Everything else was underwhelming. It was hard to locate and there was a locked gate with no instructions for how to get in.
