Description
Hello. We no longer have a hostel! now you can help us by sharing with us your best time in our home. We have two beautiful children aged 10 and 6, they are studying French and English, so we would love it if you could help us by reinforcing the language with our children, having fun with them.
what do we expect from you? that you are a kind person, collaborator in household things, respectful of household rules, practice languages with us (English or French), be cool...
Now I'll tell you something about us. We are a family of 4people, we love animals/pets. We have a dog, hamster and rabbit at home. My two children study at the French school in Ecuador. My wife works with justice in the national police. I work online and I sell Galapagos tours especially. Me and my wife would love to be able to chat in English and improve the language.
We have received dozens of people in our home from different countries. Not everyone has left comments/feed backs on our profile (do not know why, maybe they just dont care o maybe all they wanted is a place to stay and no really interact or make new friends)I hope this doesn't happen again with you. Also, before when we had the hostel we received even more people!
IMPORTANT you know. At home you can help cooking. We always have food available and we can share it. We don't have luxuries or we are NOT RICH people, we just like to interact and make friends. Here there is wifi, and a safe place where you can sleep and arrive/STAY. Our home is still close to all the places of interest and transportation in Quito is not expensive. From here to the historic center by taxi it will cost you 5 usd. By bus just 0,30USD
Bus station is an about 2 blocks from here.
