Ale's place was my first volunteering experience and I'm glad I came here. She's very communicative and replies really fast when you have a question, don't hesitate to ask. As independent she's pretty busy but she will make sure to come by the house, give you instructions or material if you need and bring some food for the volunteers! The beach is a 30 min walk from the house and there are plenty of cafes and stores in the area. I spent a week alone in the house and another week with other volunteers and felt safe both times! The locals are nice so don't hesitate to say hi!!

My experience with Ali was exceptional. She is incredibly kind and always willing to offer helpful advice. Her extensive knowledge of the area and local events is really helpful. As the project leader, she demonstrated flexibility and unwavering support. Our initial call with her played a crucial role in confirming our decision to pursue this experience. I recommend you to ask her as many questions as she is open to respond anything. The accommodation is conveniently located within a 20-25 minute walk from the beach, with some stores nearby for added convenience.

Ali was a great host, very resourceful and flexible. The work was easy and enjoyable. In my stay I painted and cleaned. The place is really close to the main areas in San Juan and beaches. Thank you Ali for having us!

Being able to work for Ali was a real pleasure. She is very accommodating and makes sure you have everything you need. The work is fair and diverse. She likes to divide your time by projects rather than specific hours. For example, painting needed to get done. It could take 2 hours or it could take 8, it just depends on how much time you want to spend on the task, just make sure you do it well! She knows about lots of events and activities in San Juan too, just ask!

Overall, great experience. Was able to make her home electrically safer along with other upgrades, while being immersed to Puerto Rican culture. Great host, would recommend anyone to volunteer at her place. Worth wild experience!
