I enjoy talking with the Host Armando. I feel like I am learning more Spanish here than I expected. Colombians are so patient and very helpful. The space is very clean, I opted for a private room half of my stay and the volunteer dorm for the other half and it was so helpful. I like the variety that is offered and you truly get the opportunity to explore around either on your own or with Armando. My home away from home that I did not expect.

Very welcoming people; the work involved was straightforward. I'd like to thank them for this great experience. There were a few communication issues at times, but otherwise everything went very well.

It was ok overall. The English classes are fully remote so you don't really get to know people in Medellin, but you work half day so you have time to go out and make new friends. They give you accommodation in the guest house and this is a nice area of the city. The hostel is small and quite, so I recommend this place if you are looking for a chilling and relaxing place

Durante o mês que passei na guest house, tive uma boa experiência, tarefas são tranquilas, a orientação de dona teresa evita o retrabalho e existe uma boa flexibilidade. o bairro é muito tranquilo, então tem como fazer tudo a pé, armando conhece bastante de colombia e pode dar boas dicas também.
