Staying with Sandra Marcela and Germán was a true delight. They are fantastic hosts: helpful, gracious and fun loving. I would stay with them again in a heartbeat!

We had the pleasure of hosting Theresa a wonderful guest who was not only pleasant but also an excellent conversationalist. She was very kind and genuinely interested in Colombia and its culture. Her enthusiasm for learning Spanish was truly inspiring, and she showed a keen interest in expanding her vocabulary. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we would highly recommend her.

perfect hosts, they truly make you feel like family, helping with any problem and also sharing their amazing culture ! I felt so welcome in their home and honoured to have met them. They were always there for a chat but also allowed you to have your own space when needed.

Both speak very good english and help you a lot. Especially during the first days, Sandra helped me getting everything I need for my stay in Bogota and showed me around. I can just recommend staying with them, because they make you feel home from the beginning. Thank you for the amazing time!
