I went to the Standard room and it was very comfortable. It had everything you needed: kitchen items, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, minibar / heated environment with stove ideal for returning from a cold day / very comfortable and complete bathroom. Well located, close to the main avenue and the beginning of the trails. Mariano is a great host and answered all my questions, providing useful recommendations and being very hospitable at all times. Exceptional price for what they offer in the area. I would return without hesitation!
