No van a encontrar lugar mejor, hay paz, comodidad, buena música desde que abrís tus ojos a la mañana, hasta que se baja el telón por las noches. Puede parecer por su nombre que es pequeño, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. Es hermoso, cuidado hasta en el último detalle, limpio, con todo lo que necesitas. Tiene un living alucinante, un patio de ensueño con verde por todos lados,pileta, juegos, las camas súper cómodas, cocina completísima. Y por último les cuento sobre Jorge, el dueño de este hogar, es buenisimo, atento, correcto, está en todos los detalles, ni hablar de su buena onda y de la de su gente. Son lo más!!! Les va a costar dejar la...
