Student reviews about Homestay
Manuel
"Very bad family. Conflictive, with many discussions between them with very inappropriate language and insults. What made me especially uncomfortable was that when something was wrong with the lady, she would yell at me.
Poor hygiene in food, cat walking on the counter and cat food on the counter.
When I was sick and needed a doctor, she did not offer to take me and it was only the 2nd day of my arrival.
