Local calmo, com uma piscina partilhada mas muito agradável. Bem recebidos e sempre prestáveis a resolver qualquer problema que surgisse. Apartamento limpo e muito agradável.
A internet não é de grande qualidade, não estando disponível dentro da habitação. Não tem máquina de lavar loiça como refere no anuncio.
