The Experience

For 20 years I ran a guesthouse where I hosted travelers and volunteers from around the world. Now I've moved to a small house in a residential neighborhood, where I need some extra hands to fix things to settle. I'll be happy to provide you a private room + breakfast in exchange. Also, I can offer you tips to explore the city beyond what tourist brochures suggest. ===NOTA: También puedes escribirme en Español==="

Be ready to enjoy food and drink with a seasoned and knowledgeable local. Very manageable tasks and hours. Juan Carlos provided a very relaxed experience and indeed, a cozy room to rest.

I had a great time with Juan. We worked together on small DIY projects like painting, filling in some holes in the wall, some small fixing jobs with the car and some other things around the house. The work was very fair and hours respected, i had the whole afternoons and evenings to do as I pleased, however i much enjoyed many evenings spent sharing dinner, wine and coffee 😊 He was a super helpful host, with lots of recommendations and knowledge of the city as only someone who has lived there for so long may have. I felt very welcomed and safe throughout my time there.

I had a great time with Juan. The highlight for me was sharing meals and learning about Argentina's history/politics and Juan's travels. The work was good and I enjoyed the variety of it. Property is away from the main tourist spots which I liked to see another perspective of the city. Juan is great at recommending things for me to do in my free time and very helpful with other admin. Would recommend!
