  • Reviewer: Paula

    Comments: Alex and Novela were great hosts, we really enjoyed meeting them! The apartment was beautiful and exactly what we needed. We loved its water-front location and City Island itself. The apartment was very clean, great shower, comfortable bed with pillow-top mattress, huge flat-screen TV, great furnishings, a patio, and a large yard. The kitchen had everything we needed, coffee and snacks were even available! Despite our visiting in January, the apartment was toasty warm. We highly recommend this apartment and are already planning our return visit. We give it five stars across the board! Thank you for such a wonderful experience, we look forward to seeing you again! Alex & Paula

  • Reviewer: Ami

    Comments: This is a hidden gem. Right on the beach, large yard, well-appointed 1 bedroom with nice kitchen for half what you'd pay for a corporate motel room half the size. Owners and neighbors are friendly, property is serene but right next door to NYC. Will definitely be back!

  • Reviewer: Linda & Didier

    Comments: Didier and I spent a perfect two weeks at Alex and Noelva's wonderful apartment. It's cozy, very well appointed, quiet and decorated creatively. The waterfront location is beautiful and very convenient to everything on City Island but also tucked away so as to feel very private. Alex and Noelva are amazing people and we feel we have made new friends and will most definitely be back. Also, an awesome HD TV and fully equipped kitchen even made staying home on a rainy day a great experience. We just got back and we miss you already! Merci beaucoup, gros bisous, Linda & Didier

  • Reviewer: Donna

    Comments: Our stay with Alex Schibli was perfect! The one bedroom unit was comfortable and had everything we needed to make us feel at home and welcome. The hosts are friendly and helpful and also afford the right amount of privacy. The setting is quiet and easy to access with a beautiful view of the water and its own little waterfront porch with a breakfast table and chairs. Great restaurants in easy walking distance and a full kitchen if you want to eat some meals "at home". Close in to Manhattan and to all the waterfront opportunities as you go north along Long Island Sound. Pelham Bay Park offers horseback riding, golf, walking and biking trails and the beautiful Orchard Beach. We will be back.

  • Reviewer: Gail

    Comments: Alex and his wife were very welcoming. We ( my husband and I) had quite a bit of delays with our trip and did not arrive until 2am and Alex was very accommodating. The home was spacious clean and homey with all the basic necessities and the lake view is priceless. The neighborhood is vibrant with an eclectic selection of restaurants. Alex and his wife also had extensive knowledge of the neighborhood, it's history and culture. We have nothing but good to say about our stay, and didn't want to leave. We will definitely be staying with Alex on our next trip to NYC no question.

  • Reviewer: Gert

    Comments: Our host Alex was gracious and hospitable. The apartment was great. There was all You can wish for a nice stay. The neighborhood was ideal for our stay on City Island. It was easy to go by bus to Manhattan. We are looking forward to come again.

  • Reviewer: Gail

    Comments: Much like before, saying with Alex was a treat. In the last review a forgot to mention the kitchen. It is fully stocked and ready in the event one wished to prepare a home cooked meal. Alex's is my home away from home. I look forward to many summer days soaking up the sun at his lake view home.

  • Reviewer: Edwin

    Comments: My family and I had a wonderful time at this fabulous home. This was our first time using Airbnb and it won't be our last, we usually stay at hotels when traveling, but now that we have discovered how awesome this service is, we will continue to use it. Even though we didn't have a chance to meet Alex, we had the pleasure of meeting his lovely wife Noelva. As soon as we arrived Noelva made sure we were well taken cared of, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that our needs were being met. The sunrise in the morning is just amazing and the view is spectacular, our kids had a blast exploring the beach which is just footsteps away from the house. We will definitely consider staying here again! Highly recommended! A+ Thank you Alex and Noelva!

  • Reviewer: Tanya

    Comments: Excellent! This airbnb was so enjoyable and exactly perfect for our family. Having access to the Bronx and the major highways was great.

  • Reviewer: Karen

    Comments: We had such a wonderful time at the apartment provided by Alex and Noelva. Everything was clean and comfy, the kitchen had all the appliances needed for relaxing at home, the children loved the big widescreen TV, and my husband and I enjoyed the front patio for a late night snack and talk. We also enjoyed spending a little time with Alex and Noelva. They are wonderful hosts. We are planning to come back.

  • Reviewer: Santiago

    Comments: la semana pasada en City Island en casa de Alex ha sido positiva, con mucha energia cargada tras muchas horas de trabajo por NYC. El silencio del lugar y las vistas de la bahia de Long Island han sido claves en la terapia de tranquilidad. un oasis de naturaleza en medio del Bronx.

  • Reviewer: Leslie

    Comments: I was born and raised in the Bronx and am always looking for a nice place to rent when I am visiting family. Alex and Noelva's apartment was perfect in every way. it is so pretty and comfortable. The apartment is decorated very nicely and all the furniture is comfortable. Our hosts even went out of their way to provide extra pillows, blankets, shampoos, and soap, and left a candy bar on our beds the night we arrived. We had a car and there was always safe and convenient parking nearby. Their son Carlos greeted us every morning and was also friendly and helpful. I am only sorry that family obligations kept us from being able to spend more time with our hosts. next time I will make sure to have time to share some wine and sausages on their lovely back yard. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a beautiful and safe place in the Bronx.

  • Reviewer: Mike

    Comments: I had a terrific stay at Alex's place. Clean, quiet, convenient--beautiful views. He and his wife are welcoming and easy going. I hope to stay in their apartment again next summer!

  • Reviewer: Farah & Daniel

    Comments: Wonderful hosts! Greeted us when we arrived, showed us around and answered questions. Home had all the basics, clean and comfy. The area was quiet and had a great view of the water! Sweet little deck to sit and eat breakfast. It is exactly as it was advertised. The chocolates on our pillows were a nice touch:)

  • Reviewer: Pascale

    Comments: Alex et Noelda ont été très serviables et le lieu est apaisant et très agréable avec les repas pris sur la terrasse. C'est très reposant. Bien que le trajet soit long en train et bus, ça vaut vraiment la peine. Le feu le soir et la vue nous ont charmés. Le reste de l'Ile n'a rien de spécial, mais nous avons profité des restos de fuite de mer très abordables et très couleur locale ! Merci pour tous ces beaux moments inoubliables.

  • Reviewer: Agnieszka

    Comments: Pobyt u pana Alexa i jego żony był dla mnie i moich przyjaciół bardzo miłym doświadczeniem; apartament wygląda jeszcze ładniej, niż na zdjęciach, okolica jest bardzo bezpieczna i spokojna. Było to dla nas oddechem po całym dniu zwiedzania Nowego Jorku. Noelva i Alex są przesympatycznymi ludźmi, którzy wyszli nam naprzeciw i dopasowali się bez problemu do godziny naszego przyjazdu i wyjazdu. Widok z tarasu jest piękny, a połączenie z centrum sprawne- takie, jak w opisie. Staying at Alex and Noelva's apartment was a very nice experience for me&my friends. The apartment is even more pretty than on photos. The neighborhood is very safe. Coming back there was a nice relax after whole day of sightseeing in Manhattan. Noelva and Alex are very friendly and hospitable, they adapted to our arrival and departure hours. The view from the terrace is beautiful! Connection with NYC center is very efficient- just as in the description. Next time in NY we'll definitely choose to live there, if there will be such possibilty.

  • Reviewer: Amy

    Comments: If you’re looking for a convenient, affordable and relaxing escape from Manhattan – this is the perfect place! We loved our stay at Alex & Noelva’s! The apt itself is very clean, comfortable and was the perfect size for the 2 of us. Noelva greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the apt. Every morning we had our coffee and breakfast on our private patio overlooking the water and we tried out some of the local restaurants for lunch and dinner which were great. We particularly enjoyed Black Whale & Bistro SK. Alex & Noelva are truly gracious hosts. So friendly and welcoming. They allowed us to take their canoe out on the water which was really fun. We enjoyed a beer with them in the front garden we even spent a couple hours with them one day which was one of our favourite parts of the trip. We canoed with them out to their private island and spent some time out there taking in the beautiful views, having some snacks and a few beers. We are so grateful to them for inviting us on such a unique experience. We look forward to returning to City Island sometime soon and would definitely recommend this airbnb! A couple additional notes which may be helpful for guests: -bed linens and bath towels were very clean. Sometimes when you rent you are worried about the provided linens, but they were great here so you don’t have to worry about that. -the bathroom is updated and the water pressure in the shower is great – very refreshing shower -they also provided 2 beach towels -I used their provided hair dryer which helps with keeping your luggage lighter -their air conditioner is very strong and if it’s really hot cools down the apt quickly. But we mostly used the ceiling fans and open windows which kept the apt nice & breezy -Super convenient ride from Manhattan – took us about an hour from Grand Central. Subway to Pelham Bay Park and then quick bus ride to City Island. The bus drops you off right by the street of the apt. -if you feel like a day just at home in the apt, the tv is really big and great quality. Lots of channels including movie channel and hbo -the grocery store and the wine/liquor store are just down the street so you can buy things for the apt. and as mentioned lots of restaurants to try out on that main strip of the island all very close by

  • Reviewer: Mike

    Comments: I am still in a happy, stunned state--this place is PERFECT. The express bus drops you on the main street, and you walk down a lovely street end toward the water. You have your own deck looking out at Hart Island--sunrises and sunsets are particularly gorgeous. Apartment is spotless; hosts are incredibly kind; neighborhood rewards continual exploration. As soon as you get there, sit down on the private deck and feel the sea breeze, you'll be hooked and very grateful. I wish I could move in full time. :)

  • Reviewer: Hong

    Comments: Perfect location and very cozy place for our four nights here in NYC. The beach is so beautiful for early morning sunrise and late night moon beams. The hosts were really nice and got out to greet us late in the late when we checked in and see us off in the rain. Very authentic individuals. We had a GREAT time visiting NYC while staying at this perfect escape from the craziness of a big city.

  • Reviewer: Erica

    Comments: Our experience here was truly special. The listing was just as described and then some. It was a cute little 1 bedroom tucked away down a quiet road on City Island. I had never been to City Island, but if you are looking for a nice place to stay that is quiet and relaxing, but close to the city this is it. Alex and Melissa were very welcoming, kind, and hospitable. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return - which we hope to do.

  • Reviewer: Lee And Tara

    Comments: We had a lovely time at Alex and Noelva's home. It was a true retreat from our busy lives in NYC. The apartment was great, the setting perfect, and we can't wait to come back for our next retreat!

  • Reviewer: Saeed

    Comments: The most wonderful and sweet hosts we have ever deal with, the apartment is clean and the views are relaxing you wouldn't believe that you are in New York! Thank you Guys!

  • Reviewer: Laurel

    Comments: I cannot rave enough about both this apartment and its two hosts, Alex and Noelva. The apartment is just as described - private, spacious, has all the amenities you might desire including an amazing HD 55 inch tv with DVR, sunny, fully equipped kitchen - with amazing views of the water and the beach and a wonderful wood deck where you can sit and admire it all. It felt like being at a private resort. Alex and Noelva made us feel right at home and we both feel like we have made new friends. The front yard with its many chairs, boats, tables, grills, is made available to all. It is one big home made up of private apartments where everyone feels comfortable. I highly recommend this airbnb to anyone who wants to be close to both Manhattan and Long Island and yet feel like they are on an island in the Caribbean. City Island is small but has everything you would need, including great restaurants (seafood, Italian, French), a supermarket, deli, Baskin Robbins ice cream. There is free parking in their large driveway, and it is at the end of a cul-de-sac and is thus quiet and private. Alex and Noelva are always available for any questions or recommendations. I miss it already!

  • Reviewer: Paul

    Comments: Our hosts greeted us when we arrived and were warm and welcoming. They showed us around the apartment and made sure we knew to let them know if we needed anything. The apartment was well stocked with fresh linens, and the kitchen was well outfitted for cooking. We had a wonderful view of the Long Island Sound. The location was perfect and quiet. We would highly recommend this apartment and are looking forward to returning.

  • Reviewer: Ryan

    Comments: Great apartment and surrounding neighborhood! Everything was clean and the host was very responsive and pleasant. We had no issues.

  • Reviewer: Kim

    Comments: The host was very friendly and accommodating. The apartment was clean and comfortable. It was cold during our visit, but there is a cute small deck attached to the apartment which I imagine would be nice to relax on in the summertime. The beds were very comfortable. The sofa-bed has a nice thick mattress, so if you have to have someone sleeping in the living room then you know they will be comfortable. If you happen to have a car, be aware that there is no parking and you may have to park a block or two away (not unusual for the area, but something to keep in mind). We were there for a week while we waited to move into our new apartment and overall the experience was quite pleasant.

  • Reviewer: Dina

    Comments: We highly recommend this apartment. The location was beautiful with beach access and a wonderful courtyard, the place was very clean, & the hosts were delightful. The neighbor's were also very friendly. It was very convenient to the bus stop that goes directly to the train station for touring. We will be back, but definitely when it is warmer. It would have been nice to enjoy the beach! Thank you again Alex & Noelva for your hospitality and we will see you again.

  • Reviewer: Heather

    Comments: What a great place! We had a wonderful time - the apartment is lovely and the location is a gem. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this apartment and hope to visit again soon.

  • Reviewer: Axel

    Comments: Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in City Island sehr genossen und uns in Alex Wohnung sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Lage an der waterfront ist traumhaft, wir hatten wunderschöne Sonnenaufgänge, der Garten u angrenzende Strand ist für Kinder super! Alex und seine Familie haben sich sehr freundlich um uns gekümmert und uns sogar ihr Boot für eine Paddeltour zur Verfügung gestellt. Auch durften wir die Feuerstelle im Garten benutzen. Wir würden die Wohnung von Alex sehr gerne wieder buchen.

  • Reviewer: Paul

    Comments: My girlfriend and I had a great time at the apartment of Alex and Noelva. We arrived to find the apartment clean and just as we expected from the pictures. The complex is right on the beach with stairs leading down at a beach that (at low tide) you can walk along to the end of the block. The canoe and kayaks are easily accessible and free for you to use. It’s a short trip over to Rat Island and Hart Island which is great exercise and also great for exploring. The apartment is also within walking distance to all of the great City Island bars and restaurants. They even invited us to a Memorial Day BBQ on their property and let us use their grill to cook the things we brought with us. Also, the TV in the apartment is probably the largest I have ever seen and it even has HBO. A great time was had by all and we will definitely be back next summer!

  • Reviewer: Jordan

    Comments: Me and my girlfriend spent 3 nights at this location and felt extremely comfortable. The owner was very welcoming and genuine. We had an amazing time being at the house each night the house was clean and had most home supplies you might need. We definitely plan on coming back to NYC and stay at this location.

  • Reviewer: Laura

    Comments: Alex and Noelva made our first stay via Air BNB a most memorable one. Our first night there we had a family emergency and they were very concerned and attentive to asking us how things were. Our stay was hectic with our schedule so we didn't get to interact as much as we wanted to with them but their whole vibe and place made us feel at home. Their son Carlos greeted us every morning and recommended a good restaurant for us the apartment was beautiful clean and cozy and in the best location you could ask for away from the craziness of the city but close enough when needed. I can't wait to go back

  • Reviewer: Della

    Comments: Great welcome and great hosts, they gave me a lift to the subway when they saw me waiting at the bus stop, so kind. The apartment is great with a really comfortable bed and so peaceful. You wake up in the morning and from your patio see the most amazing sunrises, a perfect location and only about an hour into Manhattan on the 6 train. I would highly recommend this apartment and hope to come back for longer. The town has everything you need if you don't want to leave the island. Who knew such a place existed in The Bronx

  • Reviewer: Deborah

    Comments: The location is lovely, the accommodations exactly as described, the hosts simpatico and helpful. Thanks so much!

  • Reviewer: Benita

    Comments: The hosts, Noelva and Alex, were gracious and friendly and consistently concerned about how we were enjoying our stay. They even offered to pick up groceries on two occasions. Their son, Carlos, was beyond helpful for anything we needed. The description of the apartment was accurate as advertised. Everything was ready and clean when we arrived. We loved our stay and were sorry to leave. It's a little bit of Paradise close to home!

  • Reviewer: Susan

    Comments: Great location and friendly, helpful hosts. Nice to be able to enjoy breakfast on our private deck overlooking the water ... or in the tidy garden a few steps outside our door. Ask Carlos nicely and you may even be able to borrow a sit-on-top kayak for a little paddle around some of City Island.

  • Reviewer: Mike

    Comments: This was the second summer that I stayed in this lovely apartment. The apartment is super clean and well taken care of. Alex and Noelva are terrific hosts. City Island is a great place to hang your hat while visiting the city!

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: My wife and I had a great experience. We would highly recommend this residence. Even prior to arriving, communication was excellent. The hosts were very friendly and wishing for us to enjoy the amenities they had to offer (ie. barbecue, fire pit, canoes, and paddle boards). The host even invited us for a barbecue! The accommodations were very good, just as shown in the photographs. All the comforts of home including a large HDTV with a great selection of channels, and WiFi. The hosts included a binder full of information of the area. We could sit out in the patio and watch the sunrise or, a few steps away, enjoy the sunrise right next to, or on, the beach. If we could describe in one word how this place made us feel, that word would be peaceful. The only advice we can give is to book early. For the money, this place, has been and will be in high demand. When we come to New York, we will be staying at this location.

    Comments: Listing was as described. Great spot. Sorry that it was not Spring or Summer then it would have been even better. Private. Quiet. There are only positive things to say about hosts, location and rental!

    Comments: My stay in NY was a short stay but I had great stay at Alex's City Island apartment. It was just like the picture if your looking for a great little getaway this place is it . It's in the heart of city island in walking distance to all the restaurant and shops. The view of the water from the patio is beautiful and so peaceful in the morning. Alex's wife was so nice and very helpful with things. I will be staying here again when I come back into town . Thank you again for allowing me to stay at your lovely apartment . Jennifer

  • Reviewer: Sylvia

    Comments: What a wonderful place. We didn't take full advantage as our son and family live just down the road, but this is a clean, fully furnished one bedroom unit on the water. City Island is quiet and safe with numerous restaurants within walking distance. In warm weather the little deck is perfect for your morning coffee.

  • Reviewer: Vadim

    Comments: We went to New York over New Years time. The apartment was a perfect option as a stay since it's a good place to escape from the stress in the city. We got a lot of help offered so there haven't been any problems regarding the stay, taxis, restaurants etc. City island is a beautiful place and the apartment is right at the waterside so I bet it's a great place to spend summer. We enjoyed the stay very much! Thank you Noelva and Alex and many greetings from Germany!

  • Reviewer: Christyn

    Comments: I was there for three nights with my boyfriend and the time was so comfortable and Noelva, Alex's wife, was so helpful during our time there at any our of the day. I really appreciated their quick response when we had an inconvenience at a late hour. Even when my boyfriends sister and husband slept over for a day they were very comfortable. The binder with the attractions and restaurants available on the island was very helpful, but more than anything her personal suggestions were appreciated and we are very happy we took it.

  • Reviewer: Jamie

    Comments: This was the most comfortable, quiet, enjoyable trip ever. The apartment was convenient, clean and I cannot say enough about the hosts. Alex and Noelva were the nicest people we have ever met. Genuinely good hearted, friendly, compassionate and I hope to maintain a lifelong friendship with them. Transportation from City Island was exceptionally easy and staying on the island to visit local sights and restaurants was great fun.

  • Reviewer: Sylvia

    Comments: As always Alex and Noelva are the best hosts. Good access to Manhattan, great restaurants on the island, highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Ela

    Comments: The apartment is comfortable, clean, fully equipped with anything we needed. The place was right by the water with a great window view. There were quite a lot seafood restaurants nearby, 3 or so grocery stores, and all basic service stores within walking distance. The bus stop was a minute away walking. The location itself is an hour away from Manhattan, and it's quiet and family friendly. Alex and Noelva were wonderful and gracious hosts. They were easily reachable for any problem we had and were very understanding when we had to check out later in the day. They made us feel very welcome and if we ever visited the area again, we would love to be their guests again. Highly recommended! Thank you for your hospitality Alex and Noelva!

  • Reviewer: James

    Comments: Alex and Noelva were nothing short of amazing host. We arrived late in the evening and they were there to help us check in. The apartment was amazing. Cozy and very very clean.

  • Reviewer: Delia

    Comments: Great host, good communication, great location, and comfy apartment. As all the previous reviews mentioned, the host greeted us at the door and gave us all the information we needed during our stay. We had to contact her a couple times and she was great at responding.

  • Reviewer: Donna

    Comments: We were visiting my husband's mother in a nursing home in the Bronx, NY which can be very stressful. We found Alex's place on City Island and were thrilled at what we found! The apartment is located right on the water, it is clean, comfortable, stylish and peaceful. There is a beautiful new kitchen for cooking, we did not see a coffee maker so we asked our host and one was waiting for us the next day! The bedroom was super with down comforters and a great mattress after a long day. We highly recommend this apartment for all, The Host was more than welcoming and accommodating..thank you Alma & Alex!

    Comments: Alex and his wife Noelva were wonderful hosts! From check-in to check-out they were available if I needed anything or had any questions.

It is clean, spacious, well furnished, and has a beautiful view. I look forward to returning during warmer weather and enjoying all of the outside amenities they have to offer!

    Comments: Thank you very much for being wonderful hosts. We felt like at home. Always a quick response if a question was asked. Very close to public transportation into Manhattan or out to City Island. My family completely enjoyed our recent 9 day stay in Noelva and Alex's home. We had our 9 year old daughter with us and she slept like a baby the whole trip, but the night she will never forget was the sleepover she had with our hosts' 9 year old granddaughter. She still misses her. Noelva is a caring and kind-hearted person who replied efficiently to any communication by us and kept in touch periodically to make sure that we were comfortable. Alex is a very friendly and nice guy. They helped us with whatever we needed and drove us even to stores to buy groceries or to attractions such as Legoland. They are simply superb hosts. We would be very happy to stay at this house the next time we are in New York, and we warmly recommend it to anyone! Desde una perspectiva española y europea, la casa de Alex y Noelva superó todas nuestras expectativas que, como puede verse en las fotos y descripción de la casa, ya eran bastante altas. Estuvimos encantados de estar en esta casa y salimos con ganas de volver cuanto antes. Son unos huéspedes maravillosos. De nuevo, todo nuestro agradecimiento!

    Comments: This place is amazing ! My husband and I were very comfortable here and it was quite relaxing. Noelva was very helpful and checked in with us throughout our stay. We didn’t need for much, as the place is stocked with everything to make you feel comfortable. We highly recommend staying here.

    Comments: Our hosts were very welcoming . The island is like a world away from NYC yet so accessible. The apartment is charming and had all we needed.. The air conditioning was great to come back too at the end of the days. The beds were comfortable.

    Comments: The apartment was beautiful and very clean. Five star quality plus. Everyone was very friendly and the view was amazing. Very short walk to the bus that takes you to the train into the city. Felt like home and we didn’t want to leave. My only thought was I wished we had booked longer to have more of a chance to enjoy the amenities of the property. I can’t wait to return and we will Definitely be returning.

    Comments: My husband and I really enjoyed this quiet little place along the water, especially its proximity to all the places we needed to drive while in New York. I asked Alex for a recommendation on a bakery where we could buy black and white cookies, and his wife surprised us with a fresh batch that was waiting for us when we got there! Wonderful hosts!

    Comments: My husband and I stayed here because we were having our baby shower at a restaurant on City Island over Labor Day weekend and decided to turn it into a little mini vacay/babymoon. This place was absolutely perfect for it. It was so cozy and bright and we got in so much relaxation. The hosts were out of town but Noelva’s son lives in a nearby apartment and he was so welcoming and helpful. The hosts also left us a gift and a sweet card for our baby! The weather was perfect and we got to get out in the water on their kayaks and try out stand up paddle boarding. There were some friendly cats roaming around the grounds which was fun and lots of comfy places to lounge outside. We even did some maternity shots on the property since it was so nice. We definitely plan to stay again and highly recommend it!!

    Comments: Отличный вариант жилья в Нью Йорке. В квартире чистота, новая техника на кухне, очень доброжелательный хозяин квартиры. А самое главное это конечно вид из окна и двор. Идеально для вечерних посиделок у костра, и это в Нью Йорке! Достойный вариант за разумные деньги.

    Comments: Sin lugar a dudas el mejor sitio para hacer de sus vacaciones, momentos inolvidables. No sólo es un lugar muy limpio si no también muy acojedor y romantico. Alex y Noelva nos dieron, a mi esposa y a mi un trato familiar que nos hizo sentir en nuestra propia casa. City Island es un tesoro escondido, que por su ubicacion está cerca a muchos lugares de interés. Mis mejores recomendaciones para este bello lugar.
