The property is severely neglected, with rundown facilities, dirty bathrooms, cockroaches, and a persistent smell of cat urine. There were three cats and a new dog not disclosed in the listing, with animal feces found in shared areas and even the shower. Mosquitoes were relentless, and loud music continued late at night. I also heard concerning allegations about the host's behavior, though I cannot verify them. Brenda was initially kind, but ultimately made me leave before my agreed departure date. I felt uncomfortable and would not recommend th

Lamentamos que tu experiencia en Casa Margarito no haya sido buena. Tienes razón en que durante tu estancia tuvimos un tema de mantenimiento y limpieza que no estuvo a la altura, especialmente en baños y áreas comunes. También es cierto que tenemos 3 gatos y recientemente llegó Maggie, una perrita rescatada que está en tratamiento, no estaba en el listado porque llegó de emergencia.

Queremos aclarar: en ningún momento te pedimos gestionar la propiedad solo, ni te hicimos irte antes

Living in the coliving feels like living in your new home abroad. Its located in the historic center of Guadalajara, close to anything you would need in your daily life + a train station that connects you to much of the city. The house is beautifully decorated and the host makes sure that the inhabitants are fit to suit the vibe of the house, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The tasks are very fair and well communicated and the schedule is never exceeded. Bonus: you will be living with 3 sweet cats!

Me la pase muy bien en the coliving disfrute mi estancia. Alam es muy flexible con los horarios y las tareas siempre y cuando se realicen. La casa es agradable muy verde y muy limpia, hay mucha gente joven con la cual puedes socializar. La ubicación esta muy céntrica basicamente caminando del centro y de otros lugares. Es un lugar al que seguramente seguiré yendo a visitar.

The coliving fue una gran experiencia en mis voluntariados, estoy muy agradecida con Alan que me recibió y además es un excelente host. Estoy muy agradecida por abrirme las puertas de su casa, también por los momentos y experiencias compartidas tantas que dieron ganas de quedarse, siempre me sentí feliz de estar acá. Compartí con Alan, otros huéspedes y un voluntario más. Aprendi mucho del host y siempre fue paciente al explicarme las tareas a realizar y siempre está al pendiente con los detalles de como mejorarlo. Compartimos el trabajo en muchos momentos y también comidas y charlas.
