My experience with Sheila and Ramon was amazing! I immersed myself in the Costa Rican culture, tried so many traditional foods and met incredible places. The tasks that they ask you to do are really simple, quick and easy. Also, you have the rest of the day to do whatever you want. You can't walk to the nearest beach but the buses are a really good idea, they are cheap and very regular throughout the day. The accommodations are pretty nice. I'm so so grateful for everything they've done! Pura Vida and until the next time ;)

An unforgettable experience with Shey and Román, they are an amazing couple who made us feel at home from the first day. What we enjoyed the most were the conversations and the gatherings we shared; they really make you feel part of their family.
The tasks are simple.
The place is beautiful and has a very special energy, but without a doubt, taking care of Mau and Nala was one of my favorite parts; they are adorable and they give the stay a unique touch. We left feeling very grateful for their warmth and for entrusting us to their feline companions. Highly recommended!
