I did a mural and some other painting jobs. It was nice and fulfilling work. The host was on a holiday during my entire stay so we did not get to meet in person. It's a shame that we didn't get to spent time together and that he could't show me more about Puerto Morelos for example. I had to be a bit more flexible to figure things out myself. However, it was still very nice that he trusted me to live inside his house for a couple of weeks.

Esteban is an exceptional host! From the moment I arrived at the home, I felt welcomed and at ease. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and peaceful — the perfect place to find the tranquility I was searching for. Esteban is attentive, kind, and always ready to help. The tasks are well-organized, with a great balance between work and free time. The location is stunning, surrounded by natural beauty that invites relaxation and reflection. This experience was truly enriching, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. I highly recommend the home to anyone seeking a meaningful adventure. Thank you, Esteban!

Great experience, 100% recommend. A good chance to have a quiet week and relax in the nature around Casa the home. Thank you to Esteban for taking us on excursions snorkelling, touring around town, eating local tacos and dancing too.

SO MUCH FUN! Esteban is a great host, he went out of his way to take us snorkelling, he let us join the salsa dancing classes that he teaches, and he provided all the basic food to cook our meals. The bedroom js extremely comfortable with a lovely bathroom and great AC. The complex that the house is in is very fancy with pools and walking tracks. The work hours were respected and communication of tasks each day was clear. I did some gardening, some cleaning and created some videos in English. Thank you so much, hopefully I can return again soon!

I had a great experience as an artist coming into the house. I felt welcomed and it was a great creative space to be in. The host was very flexible and accommodating. I would recommend this to friends. The rooms were comfortable and the house, gym and pool were amazing!

While the aesthetics of the house and neighborhood were nice, it wasn't where it's advertised on here. It's on an unwalkable highway, where you must pay collectivos to go anywhere. Esteban conditionally drives if he is already traveling, and might tell you, or might quickly leave without you. While he is friendly, he made artists clean after his personal party on their first day because they didn't have a costume. I didn't align with the transactional values, or how he treated the other artists, and worked overtime to finish my mural early. I'm thankful for the opp, DM me for more info

We appreciate your opinion dear Amy, we accepted the other artists on the same day of the costume party for our festivities. They had no place to stay and we made the effort to accept them on the same day so that they could have hospitality and the negotiations with them were different, since they did not come for this application.
These negotiations were unknown to you, but we understand your desire to express a situation that you were unaware of. We would have liked to hear more about your experience and not that of others that you were unaware of. Regarding the location is marked correctly as the same wordpackers application does not allow you to make a different one.
The times we left were for work issues while you continued to work because you started late and finished when you wanted to, because of your comments that you were an artist and worked when you felt like it and not according to a plan or project, not according to the 5 hour plan. The description of the house and the project are clear in the description. Remember that you can always write to us to clarify any doubts. We send you greetings and success in your next volunteering.

I was welcomed right away when I arrived to the house and all the other travelers were very friendly as well. It was a great space to share meals and ideas and experiences. I felt it was a safe collaborative space to relax and enjoy sharing my artwork. The host took us to the grocery store, and to various salsa outings which was fun, since the house is far away from town. There's a good chance to see monkeys, birds, and really connect with nature. I would recommend to communicate all details with the host before starting the work and stay on top of communication for the best experience.

Esteban is a very open and helpful host. He has clear requirements for the tasks to be done. These include, among other things, keeping the house and the garden clean and in good condition and they are feasible within the given timeframe. After work, you can easily unwind by the pool of the gated community, because the home is located in an extremely quiet natural setting. Therefore Esteban also offers that you can go with him to the supermarket in town or that he brings groceries. During my stay I was lucky to be able to use a private room and to go on a snorkeling excursion with him.

La casa permite disfrutar del canto de las aves, de la presencia majestuosa de la iguana gorda, de las familias de ñeques en su recorrido mañanero. Considero que mi primera experiencia como voluntaria no podía haber sido en otro lugar, gracias a Esteban por su paciencia, por su disposición para enseñar, por compartir sus hobis y la rica cultura mexicana. la casa un lugar seguro y con muy buena vibra.
