The best place I could stay in Puerto Rico! I'm Brazilian and I was on vacation, I needed to practice my Spanish and Jose's place was the best for it! I felt home there, the work is easy, the location is great, the hosts are like family, they took me to a music festival on my last day, always checking if I was ok, if I needed anything, the scooter was such a great add to this experience. I can't describe how good was my 2 weeks there, I wish I could stay more, and I'm sure I'll come back! A huge thanks to Jose and Janellie! I already miss you guys❤️ hasta luego

La casa fue una buena experiencia. Jose nos acogió muy bien en sus casa. Se preocupó por que conociéramos sitios y que disfrutáramos del verdadero Puerto Rico. La casa esta en la ciudad de Levittown lo cual para moverse a sitios tienes que coger uber si no tienes otro medio de transporte. Aunque todo estaba relativamente cerca, en mu caso tuve suerte de conocerte gente local con la que hacer planes. Las tareas eran pintar paredes, limpieza a fondo y reparaciones, algo que me resultó fácil. Agradecida por todo :)

Experiencia espectacular! Jose y Janeille fueron geniales! Las tareas son muy sencillas, los horarios flexibles, el alojamiento perfecto. Aprendí muchas cosas para el mantenimiento de una cosa, y sobre todo aprendí muchísimo sobre la cultura Boricua. Fue mi primera experiencia y la pase super bien! Jose siempre disponible para consejos y enseñanzas, sobre las tareas y Puerto Rico y su historia. Recomiendo definitivamente! Aprendí, disfrute, y me enamore de Puerto Rico! Muchas gracias :)

La calidez humana de José y Janelli y la ubicación de la casa hacen de esta experiencia maravillosa! Al llegar los anfitriones me enseñaron la zona y me dieron muchas sugerencias para disfrutar al máximo mi estadía. Las tareas son de mantenimiento general, muy sencillas de realizar; la buena vibra nunca falta! Los anfitriones siempre estaban pendientes que disfrutemos mucho la isla, y nos dieron un scooter para que nos movamos con facilidad! 5min de camino a la playa y disfrutar las vistas hermosas de la isla. Definitivamente recomendable :) Gracias José y Janelli!!
