Fui mto bem recebida por Ryo e Tom na minha chegada na the hostel, e durante toda estadia eles estiveram à disposição e foram atenciosos comigo. Fui mto bem recebida pela equipe tbm, Ju, Ci, Camilo, Edu, Rita e Dilma que era uma galera mto massa de conviver, nos divertimos muito e guardarei todos eles com carinho no coração. As tarefas eram bem divididas entre os voluntariados, as instalações eram confortáveis, e a recepção era muito tranquila e turno flexível. Sentirei muitas saudades, foi uma segunda casa pra mim, além da vila ser um lugar tão gostoso e caseiro em plena Paulista/the hostel.

Essas semanas que passei no Villa foram incríveis. A Rita, a Ju e os voluntários foram muito receptivos, me senti em casa logo nos primeiros dias. Os turnos são bem tranquilos e os hóspedes, no geral, super simpáticos. Como não somos um party hostel, o ambiente é perfeito para quem busca um lugar tranquilo e silencioso para voluntariar. A localização do hostel é ótima, perto de academia, mercado, metrô e da Paulista, e os horários também são bons para quem quer turistar pela cidade, além disso o Ryo e o Tomás são super simpáticos e flexíveis, o que torna a experiência ainda mais bacana. ✨️

Experiência muito boa de voluntariado na Villa. Aprendizados, amizades e oportunidades. A Villa fica perto do começo da paulista no bairro do hostel e tem tudo acessível nas proximidades. A escala de turnos é flexível e ajudamos na recepção e troca de roupas de cama. Experiência muito válida, recomendo a todos.
