I volunteered at the guesthouse, helped with cleaning, and sometimes walked the dog. Miriam, the host, was really friendly and honest, and we often hung out together. The work schedule was flexible. It was a very comfortable place to stay, and I felt at ease throughout my entire visit. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed my time with Mirian and her two adorable pups, Pili and Pinky. Mirian is a great communicator, and we had fun practicing English and Spanish together. The apartment is in a convenient area, close to shops and attractions like the Circuito Mágico del Agua. The room is simple, clean, and perfect for a short stay. What made the experience truly special was Mirian's kindness and warm personality—I already miss her and her sweet dogs. Highly recommended for solo travelers looking for a low-pressure opportunity.

Volunteering is easygoing; Mirian is a great host, her communication is clear, fluent, and open to suggestions. Mirian is interested in knowing how the experience is going and is also quite flexible, both regarding schedules and the execution of tasks. The house is beautiful, very well organized, and the facilities for the volunteer are comfortable. I recommend!

I loved my days in Arequipa with Mirian and Pinky. I was at the guest house helping with the final touches so Mirian would inaugurate her Airbnb; the work was simple and the hours fulfilled. The room is private and very comfortable. Mirian is very nice and offers excellent advice about Arequipa and the tours. Also, she has already volunteered, and that makes a difference in the way she treats volunteers. I recommend her to everyone! Thank you for everything, Mirian. I will miss the guest house.

Me encantó mi tiempo en Casa la casa. Las 🐶🐶 son súper tranquilas. Tienen una rutina muy regular, así que quien las cuide debe respetarla. Son seres vivos y muy tiernos. Las tareas eran sencillas y la anfitriona es muy amable. Salimos a comer juntas y un día me preparó el desayuno muy bueno. Fue súper especial. La ubicación es excelente! La recomiendo! Tem starbucks, kfc, farmacias, lacanderia e todo tipo de comercio perto. Fiquei num quarto só meu o que foi ótimo! ♥️♥️ ja sinto saudades ♥️
