Juan Carlos and Claudia have been amaaaaaazing hosts! The hostel is a beautiful place for meeting new people from all over the world but also locals. I have met so many interesting, intelligent, creative, and passionate people. The hours and breaks were beyond reasonable. Kiwi, the cat, on the other hand has not been as friendly but alas, he's living his best life. No injuries or anything, he just ignores me when I try to say hi. I love him regardless. There are plenty of bars, cafés, and restaurants nearby. There's even a concert every Sunday right across the street from the hostel. 10/10

Experiencia increíble como voluntaria en el hostel! Me desafié, alcancé objetivos, y además el hostal esta en una ubicación perfecta, cerca de todo lo que necesitas y muchas atracciones. Bonus: agua y café gratis! Gracias Clau, Juan e Jonathan!

Mi instancia fue muy grata! Claudia y Juan son personas muy atentas, empáticas y disponibles en todo sentido, se ve que se preocupan de una y de las personas de manera genuina, y se agradece. Siempre hay buena energía y disposición. Agregaría quizás más claridad en que contemplan los turnos en si, en cuanto a horario. Pero detalles, volvería feliz y lo recomiendo!
