Description
My guesthouse is a wonderful old wood house, located in the famous Barrio Las Peñas in Guayaquil, a bohemian neighborhood, with great bars surrounding the place at the most touristic part of this tropical city. The leitmotiv of the house is art, so probably an exposition or a play could be part of was going on here.

Help
I run this project alone, so I need help like receiving tourists, cleaning the house, change sheets, buying fresh fruit at the market, taking care and improve the social networks and web sites of the place. If we are having a play, I will appreciate giving me a hand moving furniture, serving drinks, etc.

What else ...
I like people, specially the ones that enjoy life, that means travelling...and for me if you really want to know a place, you should get to know it at night...and I live in a place where I don't need a cab to get to an exposition or a nice bar, so if you decide to give me a hand, you are going to be a the correct location to ENJOY LIFE.

I helped Arnaldo cleaning the hostel, preparing the place for a jazz concert and welcoming customers. The concert was amazing btw.
I had a really great time but the experience would have been perfect if Arnaldo were not this sad. I really hope you can open back your hostel soon… read more

We recommend them.
The work was mostly housekeeping, nothing too difficult.
When Arnaldo was free, he would take me and the other volunteers out, which was really nice of him. He’s a generous and funny Jefe!
Claire is a great british Lady with a lot of values.

Fue un placer estar con ustedes en este lugar maravilloso.

I stayed here for one week and it was a wonderful experience! The casa is so cool! You practically live on a theatre stage and all the rooms are different and special in their own way. So it was really nice just relaxing in the hostel in my free time. But the location of the hostel… read more

El trabajo es organizado bastante, 5 horas cada día.

Extremadamente colaboradora. Ojalá vuelva alguna vez, a esta, su casa en Guayaquil. Se la extraña...
Lo mas interesante de esta experiencia es el poder gozar de encontrase en un espacio que es mucho mas que un hostel para turistas.
Mas allá de las necesidades económicas que todo proyecto entraña y que la dado este enfoque también… read more
Me llevo muy buen recuerdo de las conversaciones que compartimos con él y los demás voluntarios ^ ^ .

Wish them the best!
Arnaldo was so kind and welcoming. He treated us as guests, not staff. He helped us with other elements of our trip - including driving us all around the city on a near wild goose chase of an errand - and was very trusting of us with his beautiful guesthouse.… read more
This is a charming place. Any artist would feel inspired here. The location is great as well.
