09 July 2009 Jorge would recommend this property

Liked: Everything. It was perfect. I can't think of any way to make it better. I'm recommending it to everyone. It's even its own reason to visit the town. We were seven people and all of us loved it to death.

Véronique PROMELLE

24 June 2009 Véronique would recommend this property

Liked: fun place, well located, very clean and colourful.safe with free lockers in the room (but don't arrive too late or you'll have to wait until the following morning to have it!). very lot of people, don't really talk to each other. if you want to go out and just have a place to sleep it's ok, but if you have to wake up early...our roommates came back at 4am !
