Karen was as enthusiastic as ever. She took care to introduce local information to everyone and arranged for driving them to visit museums, art galleries and other activities. Even her houses full, she still arranged for couch surfer to stay in her study for a few days, and personally pedalled bicycles to take her with us to see the water view, sunset, drink beer, eat pizza, etc. I had a plenty of time to explore the city. Nice neighbor, scenery riverfront, got my reduced bus card.A lady even gave me a music show ticket in the Fisher building. Thanks Karen! Wish her trip great also!

Nice hostess, pretty young manager. Guests have to clean their own mess, so relatively easy job. Just got bad feet, so didn't go anywhere a lot, but definitely I will be back to see my classmate there. And because hostess there, maybe I will settle down there in the future.

Karen is a great host. It was my first experience as a volunteer and it was fascinating. Chores were as we agree and I had a lot of free time. I've met many interesting people and immerse in local culture. Detroit is a way better place than I thought before I came here.

And Alexey is an amazing volunteer and super smart. He helped with so many different tasks both at our NYC location and Detroit and gave me so many different ideas about all sorts of things. We spent hours talking about all sorts of things so that was really fun and I got to learn all about his culture. A very creative mind. Thank you so much for helping in NYC last minute and then traveling to Detroit with me and also sharing your amazing culinary skills with my family too! I pulled out some Borcht in my freezer and it was still amazing. Thank you!!
