Beautiful experience but they need to clean - The family is very nice and very welcoming, specially their 21 years old daughter who was the main person taking care of us. However, they have plenty of room for improvement. They need a clean room and bathroom for the travelers. The need to paint the room that they have reserved for tourist, have bed sheets that smell well and clean towels. They also need a clean bathroom. In addition. during the time that we were there, they made constructions work what was very disturbing. Expending the night with them was a beautiful experience. It was a very enriching cultural exchange. However, if they don't have a clean quite space for travelers, people won't go there.
