We are an easy going couple of artists living in a very interesting part of Bogotá where you will be able have a taste of life in this massive city. Public transport is very near by, the historic center is 15 minutes away. This whole area is surrounded by Universities, parks, discotheques, bars, museums and much more, you name it, yes also karaokes, there is a lot to do and see. We work from home in various projects and the place is also our art studio and creative lab. Even tho our apartment isn’t very big there is space for writing, reading, playing instruments, drawing and even printmaking. If you are proactive and creative person, please make yourself at home and enjoy the space too.
Connie is a biologist and illustrator who has a fascination for bugs and life in general.

They work as science divulgator and social activist through animation and comics. Also loves everything that has to do with baking delicious pies. She/They/them pronouns.

We both love traveling and enjoy ourselves in nature. If you want to visit interesting sites inside or outside the city we will tell you the easiest and best way to get there. Also whenever we are available we would like to show you around, Bogota holds place for every type of person, may you find yours. We are very social and love to have fun dance nights, karaoke, jams and hangout with friends, feel welcome to join.
We also value a lot our private and alone time and are constantly learning to take care about our health and organization . We like to recharge our social batteries from time to time. In general while we are in the city don’t go out much and spent most of the time in the house working or doing shores. We are always involved in some art project that might intermittently occupy common spaces. Connie is a fashion lover so you might as well hit them up if you want some cool makeup or outfit for the day . We like having nice and safe space to live on, we are very clumsy too. We love food and our meals are mainly vegetarian although Leo every now and then cooks chicken. We enjoy learning and sharing recipes, also having meals with our guests. We like to have friends and family visiting , all of our circles are LGBTQ+ friendly. We’re both nonbinary, we use any pronouns and we’re a 100% queer safe home were you wont be judged for your identity or preferences. We’re very respectful of other’s boundaries and we like to have healthy and respectful ways of communication.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

You’ll be staying in your own room, with a single bunk bed, fuzzy blankets a big window and access to the balcony. There’s just one bathroom in the flat, so we’ll be sharing the space with mindfulness of each other’s time and wellbeing. We have a nice kitchen where we all cook. Connie is a vegetarian and we eat mostly plant based food prepared from scratch.
Anastasia, our CAT and family, is really calm, clean and fluffy. We love her a lot and take much care about her. She’ll be around the house freely at all times. She isn’t allowed to go outside, and you’ll have to be very responsible about watching the windows and doors so she doesn’t go out, please keep an eye on her.
We have a chimney for cold or hang out nights, many books you can grab and enjoy (please be mindful about their place)
If you like music, we have a stage where we jam with various instruments will be happy to hear you interpreting something.
We have limited internet access from personal hotspot that can share with you anytime. If you want more independence we can also help you find a cheap internet plan for you to use on your cellphone.
We live in a third floor without elevator.
We’re very tidy with cleanness and hygiene so you’ll be encouraged to tidy up the things you use in the kitchen, bathroom and rest of spaces. This apartment is our shelter and home so you can help us give it love and keep it nice for all of us.Algo más...
