Preço alto.

Custo alto para um quarto pequeno . Atendiwmnto de todos excelente . Acustica pessima , quando havia outras pessoas barulhentas e sem educação, eracomo se estivessem gritando e discutindo dentro do apartamento. Wi fi bom . Agua quente a vontade . Uma sala de comveniencia boa com.microondas e geladeira comunitarios. Piso que rangia ao andar. O custo alto pela qualidade do local.
