Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquilidad en familia El sitio es muy agradable. Merece la pena, pero hay puntos para mejorar. Primero, la nevera que tenía mucho hielo. Segundo, el lavavajillas no lavaba bien con ningún programa de lavado y hemos tenido que hacerlo a mano.Tercero, el menaje de la casa era un poco escaso. Tenías que fregar cada vez que comías porque si no, no tenías platos para comer. ##### Juan Carlos R.
