"Pros: A casa era mesmo muito boa e tudo funciona muito bem. 3 wcs completos 3 quartos fantásticos, uma sala grande como é necessário e boa tv e wi-fi. Sem muita decoração nem móveis a mais como se pretende numa casa de férias, tem tudo o q é preciso. A dona é super simpática e prestável, sempre disponível. A meu pedido arranjou até quem fosse fazer a limpeza ao fim de 1 semana que não deve ser fácil neste período. Cons: Apenas uma nota negativa: o meu aluguer foi de 15 dias e deveria contemplar...
