Good location - close to the bus station, and a short walk to downtown. Cozy space that was clean and had everything you needed if you wanted to cook. Good Wifi for Calafate. Check in and check out was smooth, and they were helpful answering our questions! FYI there was a dog (very friendly) on the grounds but there are also a lot of stray dogs around in Calafate in general...

Sharon United States of America

Loved the host, Paola. She helped us straighten out our tour pick ups immediately. She also arranged a local taxi on our departure. There was a simple, but thoughtful breakfast, included. She was the ONLY one of our apartment stay hosts to provide us with a breakfast and maid service. What a superb and wonderful host. Loved the location with several restaurants within an easy 10 minute (or less) walk. We weren’t used to lighting a kitchen stove with a match, but we just put the burner on LOW and that made it easy for us to do this. Our simple breakfast was a loaf of bread, some packages of local goodies, orange juice, tea, coffee, jams, etc. It worked for us. Loved having Toby, our watch dog, around. He is an older dog with a sweet disposition. We had 10-12 hosts and she was our favorite to date.

Cheryl United States of America

Location is perfect, beside downtown but not so crowded as downtown. Paola is an excellent hostess, she helps with anything you need. The idea to have bread, jelly, butter, fruit salad, alfajores, tea, and coffee inside your room with all the necessary things to cook it's simply great! You can take your breakfast whenever you want, even a tea in the middle of the afternoon. Wi-Fi is very fast and TV channels are great.

Bertha Brazil

Very friendly and English speaking host. Perfect location.

Elena Israel

Paola. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about everything. She made the stay so easy!

Kathryn United States of America

Great location, quiet room, reasonable cost and pleasant interaction

Robert United States of America

Hostess is very kind and helpful for travelers. Foreigners can get discount price of 21%-exempted tax with foreign issued credit card. Some accommodation do not accept credit card for paying for(only cash), so couldn't get exmption of 21% tax for foreigners. Be careful for payment method of only cash.

Paola, the owner was very helpful. The location was great- close to restaurants, a large supermarket, and cute shops, but not noisy. Plenty of electrical outlets in the cabin and the wifi worked great. They provided items so that we could make our own continental breakfast each morning. My son loved the daily supply of alfajores. Beds very comfortable.

S United States of America

Good breakfast tray, very clean room, good water for shower, cable TV, good internet, friendly host and friendly dog (Toby). Close to everything in town.

Robert United States of America

Very quiet and clean, near center of town. Firm, comfortable bed. Paola was super welcoming and helpful.
