Awesome experience with an amazing family. Fernando was one of the most amiable people so far on my trip, and he knows everything about the town and is eager to share. He is also very patient and tolerated my average español effortlessly making me feel very welcome. He ensured that I was very well informed on all the activities available and I had a lot of fun because of this. Their hostel is very relaxed and clean, and an easy place call home. The night shift was generally not too long depending on the guests. Making the hours extremely fair. I highly recommend, they're great people.
