友好和好客的家庭

Queridos Hugo Stella y Juan!

Fue un placer conocer a su familia y vivir y disfrutar de la hospitalidad de su familia en este acogedor hogar lleno de alegría y amor. Fue todo IMPRESIONANTE.
Gracias a Hugo por los desayunos y a Stella por su incansable ayuda tanto en el aprendizaje del idioma como en la introducción del entorno.
Juan, tendrás un gran futuro por delante porque te comunicas en varios idiomas y ayudas a viajeros de todo el mundo conociendo Medellín y sus alrededores.
¡Tu hogar ha sido el mejor hogar para mí fuera de mi propio hogar!

Our time with Stella and Hugo was amazing. We stayed over christmas and were treated like family. We couldn't imagine a better homestay. They will help you with everything and are incredibly friendly. You will improve your Spanish a lot, cause they are talkactive. They neighborhood is very calm. We highly recommend to stay there. Someday we will come back. With more people like Stella and Hugo, the world would be such a better place.
Thank you so much for everything Stella and Hugo!

I stayed with Stella and Hugo from March to June. The absolute BEST homestay I have ever been in. They were so incredibly patient, whether you are a beginner in Spanish or advanced.

Such a kind family as well. I was regularly invited to go do things out in their neighborhood, such as dinner at beautiful restaurants, going to the mall, or a museum. If you desire to be alone, that's never an issue and you will have your space. But if you are seeking to connect with a lovely family, look no further. They helped me out so much, teaching me where to get food, how to take the bus, how to use the ATM, etc.

Every morning they made arepas y huevos- I loved arepas so much that Stella taught me how to make my own! On my last day, she bought me corn flour and Arepas de Sonsón to bring back home with me to California.

This was truly my best experience of 2023. Stella and Hugo regularly had visitors- folks who had stayed with them prior- and I 100% understand why. Whenever I come back to Medellín, I know I have a family to visit. This was the healing experience I didn't know I needed.

Me quedé con Stella y Hugo de marzo a junio. La MEJOR casa de familia en la que he estado. Fueron increíblemente pacientes, ya seas principiante o avanzado en español.

Una familia tan amable también. Me invitaban regularmente a hacer cosas en su vecindario, como cenar en hermosos restaurantes, ir al centro comercial o a un museo. Si deseas estar solo, eso nunca será un problema y tendrás tu espacio. Pero si busca conectarse con una familia encantadora, no busque más. Me ayudaron mucho, me enseñaron dónde conseguir comida, cómo tomar el autobús, cómo usar el cajero automático, etc.

Todas las mañanas hacían arepas y huevos. ¡Me encantaban tanto las arepas que Stella me enseñó a hacer las mías! En mi último día, ella me compró harina de maíz y Arepas de Sonsón para llevarme a mi casa en California.

Esta fue realmente mi mejor experiencia de 2023. Stella y Hugo recibían visitas regularmente (personas que se quedaron con ellos antes) y entiendo al 100% por qué. Cada vez que vuelvo a Medellín, sé que tengo una familia que visitar. Esta fue la experiencia curativa que no sabía que necesitaba.

If you're looking for a perfect place to stay in Medellin while learning Spanish with a lovely family, look no further. I stayed with Stella and Hugo for 2 months and they were amazing. So helpful and supportive. They care so much about their guests and want to provide the best stay for those who stay with them. They took me to salsa events, taught me how to cook traditional Colombian food, and helped me practice Spanish. My Spanish improved so much due to Stella and Hugo. I could not recommend them more.

I cannot say enough great things about Stella and Hugo.

Prior to my arrival, Stella and Hugo were very helpful and arranged my transportation to their home. When I arrived, they greeted me with open arms then escorted me to my room.

Throughout my stay, Stella cooked breakfast each morning and helped me navigate through Medellín by sending well written directions and answering all of questions. She also walked me to the Arkadia Mall nearby to help me find items needed for my stay.

Because of the change in climate, I became sick around the 3rd day but Stella took care of me and made sure I had meds, water and food. We spoke Spanish daily and she helped with words I did not understand.

Overall, I must say I received exceptional service and would not hesitate to stay at Stella’s again when I visit Medellín.

Lastly, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thanks so much Stella and Hugo!

I had such an amazing stay with Stella and her family for a month. In fact, I've decided to return soon. Stella and Hugo were such amazing hosts, ever day I came home to fresh fruit juice and warmth. I received many recommendations from the family and got to meet two other cool people improving their Spanish here in the Homestay as well. We became a tight knit family. I ended up moving to the top floor because the room is sooooo nice and it has a kitchen. Stella and Hugo don't speak English fluently which is perfect for YOU since this is a great language exchange. You are forced to speak only Spanish. She also toured me around the area which was so nice and they can have someone pick you up from the airport. I have a C1 level for Spanish but still so much to learn so being welcomed into the family was perfect for me. You learn so much about the culture and you improve your Spanish. 10/10 homestay.
