Angel from USA stayed here on 24th June 2007
1st of all, when I booked & paid the initial deposit on my credit card, the website page got frozen, also, I did not receive a confirmation number for the $20 private ensuite. When I entered the website to re-do the booking & enter my credit card, it showed an increased price, no longer $20, so, I gave that booking up. I went back to the list & booked with La Choza
