Mª Ángeles asked me to post a picture of her house to rent. I think Lola's right, it's perfect for throwing a Halloween party.Would you rent it? I dare you!
Would you like to stay in this gloomy house? It’s an enormous house with five floors. Be careful! If you stay in the first floor for an hour and you go up the second floor, the stairs will disappear and you won’t be able to go down again.
All the doors must be opened always because if you close the only one door, all of them, will close and you won’t be able to go out never ever.
It has a lot of coffins instead of beds, which are ideal for sleeping warm and quiet.
You’ll be completely isolated because it doesn’t have phone, Internet, television or radio, so if you have any problems, nobody will help you.
In the night-time you’ll hear screams of terror and baby’s crying. Furthermore, the walls and windows will bleed when the storm breaks.
Finally, the neighbours are very affectionate and charming because they’ll visit you when you have a shower. They are monsters, vampires, zombies, ghosts, witches, mummies, skeletons and spirits. They usually throw their heads each other. It’s so amazing!
Sorry but I don't like your houses for live but maybe I'll phone you the next year for celebrating Halloween in your houses with my friens.Would you like it?

Would you like to live in an old lighthouse in the Spanish coast?

There are spectacular views from the top, which has been completely transformed in a circular balcony. This room is perfect to see whales, dolphins… or just to enjoy seeing the sea. There is a little colony of seagulls that usually alight on the railing.
