I loved my month stay here! nice to have staff dorms and loved the vibes here. Def a high energy environment but very fun way to see the city and connect with other travelers. Lots of socializing and you get a good amount of down time to enjoy activities. They also have local staff that are very kind and fun to hang out with as well.
