My experience was so-so because there were things that could've been communicated better. i was not told i would be staying in a different house than the one listed on the profile and the house didn't have working plumbing for the first week of my stay, so i had to walk across the street to the hosts house for cooking, laundry and using the bathroom. i am a flexible person so i didn't mind that much but it was an inconvenience to say the least. also there were tenants that moved in later on that made a lot of noise at night and made it hard to sleep. otherwise it was a decent experience.

This is the very great experience ! Grace is very kind and welcoming. The work is really not complicated, everyone is capable of doing it. We work 5 mornings a week for about 4 hours and we have 2 days off. During this free time, we are free to do whatever we want.

Grace was an excellent host, she was kind and patient and made sure that everyone was really well looked after. The tasks were easy and allowed a lot of free time to go and explore, I'd also recommend this to anyone who is thinking of doing Worldpackers, it made for a great first experience on here. Thank you Grace!

Grace's house was a special place to learn about hosting, Grace was like a mom because she always took care of us, sometimes she cooked traditional Chinese food and it was nice, if your job is good you gonna enjoy working there, I had two roomies from Argentina since the first day they helped me a lot, grace is a very kind person and if you have a question or problem she gonna help you, the house is near NY city and there are a lot of landmarks close to the house, I hope to meet here again
