Mantulene Apartments - Basque Stay
The place was impossible to find. It’s very hidden. I never got the check in email. The parking and gate were a bit to navigate as well. The host vaguely answered questions about problems including the AC not working, no conditioner. No garbage can. Everything was vague.
