Merece la pena, pero hay puntos para mejorar. Primero, la nevera que tenía mucho hielo. Segundo, el lavavajillas no lavaba bien con ningún programa de lavado y hemos tenido que hacerlo a mano.Tercero, el menaje de la casa era un poco escaso. Tenías que fregar cada vez que comías porque si no, no tenías platos para comer. ##### Juan Carlos R.
