Everyone at the guest house was so welcoming, kind and warm !! I made great connections with the other volunteers (both local and international) as well as the staff and some guests. I went during the quieter winter months which left me with a lot of free time to make connections and explore the city. I would recommend the guest house to anyone looking for a wholesome experience!
