I liked the my room in this property that has washing machine, I washed my clothes in it, because I had to extend my stay in there, and pretty much cloth to everything, transportation bus system is few steps away from the hotel, and you can get to anywhere you want to go

O hostel fica bem localizado, próximo a estação de metrô, com várias opções de comidas ao redor.
A menina que me atendeu na recepção é muito simpática e atenciosa.
