My experience at the home involved installing ceramic tiles in a bathroom. The work is challenging and requires construction experience. Additionally, it demands a lot of availability. However, the family is incredible. I loved meeting Yves, Silvia, Alma, and Amaya. You will have a great time with them. Not to mention, the food is excellent.

The experience with Silvia and Yves was great, they are very welcoming people, they showed us around the home and gave us recomendations on what to do on our free days. The activities require physical work so it can be demanding but it was fun to learn how to use the tools and to do other bricolage stuff, the working hours were always respected and Silvia was flexible with the schedule to start earlier if we wanted. The little girls are playfull and somedays we stayed with them drawing. The food was always delicious, I had very a good time :)

Silvia is an excellent host, I really enjoyed my stayed at her house, food was great, she gave us bicycles, and was really friendly and kind with us. The work is not easy, you have to be really punctual and commit with the job, you also have to be really clean with the working space and tools. You also have to like kids, Silvia and her husband, Yves, have two beautiful little girls that play and run all over the place, and they'll surely play with you. Is very important to have initiative, but you'll get used to it. Oh and is very important to finish what you started.

Son únicos. !!! Nosotros también los extrañamos, por qué de.alguna manera lo más importante para mí.. independiente de todo lo que nos ayudaron. Siempre fue su gran alegría y simpatía que compartían con mis niñas. En verdad eso no tengo con qué pagárselo. Yves y yo se los agradecemos de todo corazón. Todavía preguntan por ustedes. Cuídense mucho! Los queremos mucho.un fuerte abrazo !! pd. Luego me mandan a sus hermanos !!!

We can't say enough about Sylvia and Yves. They made us feel at home everyday. We felt like we were apart of their family. They feed us some of the best food we've ever had. They showed us spots and encouraged us to visit the surrounding area on our days off. We made lifelong friends.

The house is a huge construction site, work is underway at all points. I had my own room. My main task was to sand oil paints off a wall. We also brought bulky waste to the recycling center and I did a little gardening. The family was friendly to me and offered to show me local sights or to come with me to Silvia's yoga class. Silvia prepared delicious meals, the plantains were delicious!
