La vista espectacular, no malo es que al llegar ni una botella de agua, un rollo y mini jabón de manos para 4 días. Te ofrecen cocineta cuando no hay aceite, azúcar o productos básicos que debería haber en cualquier lugar. cafetera sin filtros.
El baño no servía, ni el siete acondicionado ni caja fuerte.
No hay toallas en la cocina ni trapos para limpiar si ensucias algo.
Se debe considerar que si vienes de viaje no cuentas con los accesorios básicos antes mencionados.
