Pepe y su hijo Antonio an sido muy buenos anfitriones, tuve mucho tiempo libre, está muy bien ubicado en pleno centro donde conocí lugares bonitos, me llevaron a pasear varias veces, tuve una bonita habitación con balcón, gusté mucho de la compañía de Antonio y jugamos mucho monopolio y basket ball 🏀 🥰🎉 quedé muy agradecida y ahora tengo buenos amigos en Guimarães. Obrigada

La PEOR experiencia! No se cumplen los horarios. El primer día de mi llegada vi como la anterior voluntaria le cocinaba a más de 4 personas, siendo que uno sólo le debe cocinar a él y al niño. No hice casi nada de Babysitting y pareciera que el hombre busca alguna clase de “dama de compañía”para no sentirse solo, que alguien que le cocine. El host father me ECHO DE LA CASA porque no le fui a comprar vino al supermercado en la noche?? y esa no era mi función! UNA FALTA DE RESPETO. DE MACHISMO Y ATISBOS DE SUPERIORIDAD. YA REPORTE A ESTE HOMBRE PARA QUE NO SIGA EN ESTA APLICACIÓN!

Pepe replied

não só não sabia cozinhar como nem sequer se esforçou por aprender, que eu tive muita paciência a ensinar ...sempre olhar o celular, só estava bem disposta quando íamos comer fora- que foram bastantes vezes- dos quinze dias que aqui esteve cozinhou três vezes...(uma das quais tive de deitar fora pois não estava em condições. ( eu cozinhei mais vezes para ela) Pessoa desagradável a raiar a má educação, nunca lhe faltei ao respeito sempre a tratei com educação. Sempre demonstrei muita paciência considerando que era de outra cultura que não a minha mas não era esse o problema. deixei que fosse visitar outras cidades ao redor em dias que era suposto ajudar. não a recomendo para nada a não ser talvez para tratar de redes sociais
