Funky place

Interesting place. Very funky vibe. It was a nice place but the funkiness made it a bit uncomfortable. No where to put luggage. The shower was odd. A bathtub with a pipe over it that had water spray all over the place. There wasn’t a closet, only a clothing rack that had “clothing for sale” hanging on it. There was a beautiful courtyard and the breakfast was really good. Its worth a stay just to check the place out.

Una curiosidad.

Es un hotel raro. Nada en la fachada indica que lo sea. Solo hay una pequeña placa con el nombre. Entras y te encuentras una casa desvencijada a propósito (pintura desconchada, apariencia buscada de abandono), pero con mucho encanto. Nuestra habitación tenía acceso a un patio muy bonito donde desayunamos correctamente. Es como entrar a vivir en un decorado. Personal muy atento. La ubicación no es en zona histórica, pero en 20 minutos se llega a ella. Abstenerse los fanáticos de los hoteles modernos.
