My the guest house at this place wasn't what I expected. The work wasn't difficult, aside from some tasks which felt really random. But it was very chaotic sometimes, making me feel like I have to figure everything out on my own. However the living conditions were poor. The place felt messy, and the host doesn't even have a separate room for volunteers, so I had to the guest house in whichever room wasn't booked at the moment. Also, sometimes it felt like the host didn't understand the concept of personal space, or would say weird things which made me feel uncomfortable. I wouldn't go there again.

Memo replied

I wished I did not want to disclose this but to warn other business owners, I write in public. Gabriela had a terrible drinking habit and she smelt of alcohol every morning from her. Not only that she puked in the guest space and guest toilet. Smell prolonged in the space. We had to provide you another room in the attic or the bed in the shared space when all bed room was booked. It is displayed in description. Gbriela refused to work designated hours.

Je suis restée trois nuits dans la maison de Chimaki, en échange d'un peu d'aide ménagère et de plusieurs séries de photos pour mettre en valeur l'un de ses studios ainsi qu'une chambre de style japonais. L'échange s'est bien passé ! Chimaki parle anglais, ce qui facilite grandement la communication.
