Es tal como lo vimos en Airbnb. Sencillo pero con todo lo básico para una estadía agradable. El wifi casi nunca funcionó bien y la cafetera tampoco al menos en el 2E que es donde estuvimos. El sector de la piscina lo mejor, poco concurrida, pequeña pero muy agradable terraza para pasar las tardes noches. Si eres bueno para caminar estás cerca de todo: unos 5 minutos de la playa mamitas, 20 del muelle Constituyentes, 3 cuadras de un Aki muy grande y del banco en la 30 av. Incluso hemos ido caminando a la 1 al parque Fundadores sin ningún inconveniente.

Excelente lugar, la anfitriona muy atenta desde el principio y eso que mi contratación la hice casi a media noche. El lugar está bien ubicado, está a 2km de la terminal del Ferry. 1 , 100% recomendable.

Un agradable lugar, muy tranquilo y con gente de trato amable. El área de alberca y su palapa están excelentes para pasar todo el día tirado ahí. Regresaremos!!! Muchas gracias.

Es un apartamento excelente, muy buena ubicación (barrio seguro y tranquilo) no hay ruido del centro. Las habitaciones son grandes y cuentan con todo lo que necesitas para no gastar dinero afuera. Una piscina muy cómoda, en el techo del recinto. Terraza con camastro, palapa y asador.

Me recibieron a las 2 am, sin ningún problema. No es un lugar de lujo pero tiene todo lo necesario para tu estancia, perfecto si tienes q salir de tours... Cocina y baños limpios, con agua caliente y aire acondicionado, el wifi nos funcionó perfecto y hay una piscina q puedes usar a toda hora que estaba limpia. Solo se puede pagar en efectivo y nos esperaron hasta el día siguiente para ir a sacar dinero y pagar . Está cerca de la playa y 5ta avenida. Además la anfitriona te ayuda y aconseja con cualquier cosa q necesites. Totalmente recomendable. Lo único malo es q éramos 4 personas y habías platos y cubiertos para 2, lo mismo con las toallas, sin embargo, nosotros no nos complicamos porque llevábamos nuestras toallas y con respeto a los platos, nos turnabamos para comer, menos loza que lavar

La atención es buena, el lugar está tranquilo ni tan lejos ni tan cerca de la playa y de la 5ta avenida. Se puede ir caminando a todos lados.

La llegada no fue la mejor que digamos. Estuvimos esperando a que aparecieran unos señores con sus cervezas y despues de ahí nos enseñó el lugar. Solo aceptan pagos en efectivo pero lo demás fue excelente. Nos dieron 2 camas king a pesar de que solo eramos 2 personas, afuera había aceite, sal, arroz, etc. Y puedes estar nadando en la alberca todo el día y noche. (Estuvimos nadando en esa alberca de 1.70m de profundidad hasta las 3am sin problemas) Quedan muchos lugares cerca pero está a 25 minutos caminando de la terminal ADO que llega del aereopuerto. Les recomiendo ir 2 calles arriba para tomar un colectivo y que los deje en el super aki o en el willys, así pagan 10 pesos en vez de $80 de un taxi.
