I would definitely recommend the coliving to a traveller and digital nomad! This community is truly a family away from home. The layout is designed to be conducive to community, but the coworking space is quiet and separate. Ivonne, the manager, is thoughtful, kind, and understanding. I always knew my schedule the week before and could request changes if I needed. I never had to wait for a shower or bathroom in the shared facilities. Ivonne was available if I had any questions during my shift, and was patient when I needed additional help. I loved being a part of the weekly activities! I'll be back!

My staying in the coliving was really nice. They have reception shifts and one activity extra of the week, sometimes u will be in charge of the family dinner (u have to cook the dinner for the communit, so if u like cookin, this is the perfect place for u). The community that's it's created is really nice, most of the guest will stay more than one week, so u can really get to know them and creat great bonds with them. The rooms, kitchen and bathroom are really clean and organized, all really comfortable. Oaxaca is amazing city, a lot of culture and the food is the highlight for this place.

Staying at the coliving Oaxaca was an amazing experience. Everyone, from the staff to guests, were nice, helpful, open minded and fun. Being there during the Guelaguetza added to the experience for sure. Clean and comfortable dorms, rooms and bathrooms. Good wifi to work, cozy environment, directly downtown, possible to walk almost everywhere, kitchen well equipped. I really felt at home by the end of my five weeks. Something I would have liked is to practice more my Spanish, everything is in English first and most people speak English in the coliving. Thanks Ivonne and everyone!

I had the time of my life volunteering at the coliving! For one month and a half, this beautiful coliving space in the heart of Oaxaca became my home away from home❤️ Ivonne, the manager, is extremely nice and great fun and the guests that stay at the hostel are amongst the most interesting and diverse people I've ever met. The job itself is pretty simple and not too demanding, allowing for a great deal of free time to explore Oaxaca and its surroundings. I would recommend this volunteering to anyone who loves being among people and enjoys a culturally rich city. I will miss the coliving dearly!!
