My time at the host was AMAZING! I was able to connect with the local culture and improve my English. The hosts always did everything they could to make us as comfortable as possible. The work is simple, easy and the accommodation is comfortable in addition to being very well located. I hope to return to the team soon!

The experience in the host at the host was great, they are super welcoming with volunteers and receive a lot of Brazilians, they had a welcome party for me! Mario our first boss was super nice, and Denny is a super fun guy and I learned a lot from both of them and from my colleagues, the location is great! the city is cold but it was a very nice experience

This was my first WorldPackers experience, and I absolutely loved my time at NapYork! I was initially planning to stay only for a month but ended up extending my stay for another month. Some highlights: 1. Amazing Location! It's next to affluent neighborhoods like Russian Hill, Marina, Pacific Heights, etc., has Whole Foods just a 3-minute walk away, and is in walking distance to Japantown & Chinatown, 2. Amazing people! The manager and other volunteers were very fun to hang out with and chill, so it felt like a family, 3. $500 allowance every 2 weeks, 4. Work is easy & chill. Thanks NapYork!

My experience was excellent! The hostel is in a good location for seeing the sights, I was able to study at City College of the host and it was free. If the idea is to travel and get to know the city of Sf, this is a good place. They paid me 200 dollars every 15 days and with this amount I was able to eat and visit the points of interest. My suggestion is to ask in your interview about tasks, schedules and payment before boarding.
