Lugar agradável e com conforto
"O flat é muito confortável e organizado. Poderia ser melhor ainda se tivessem limpado o ventilador da sala e o ar-condicionado que estava com cheiro de mofo e se o fogão elétrico fosse um pouco mais potente (o que tem la é velhinho). Fora isso foi uma ótima estadia."
