A hostel with a homey soul, a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere, in a native area of Canoa. It has five rooms, three private suites and two shared, a kitchen and a terrace with an incredible view.
About the facilities:
The room where volunteers stay is the same as guests; it is the mixed shared room, and it has a fan. The bathroom does not have an electric shower.
The hostel is a three-story building with many stairs, not suitable for those who have difficulty climbing stairs.
Our location is great; we are in the center of Canoa, where most houses belong to native families, just two blocks on foot to the main street, where all the local shops are, 10 minutes on foot to the beach and 3 minutes on foot to the sunset dunes.
