I was welcomed very warmly by the host Rami and his partner Claudia. Rami made sure I have everything I need whatever it was. They invite you into their life of music and creativity with the opportunity to broaden your comfort zone without pressure. There are activities offered through the week but no one is mad if you don't join. Additionally Rami has a huge variety of recommendations for fantastic restraurants and places to see in the area. The house is on the hill above Puerto de la Cruz. Yes, getting groceries is a bit of an effort to organize but there was always someone going to a supermarket by car. What you gain by being outside of the city is a stunning view and a relaxed atmosphere. The pool was pretty refreshing and I personally enjoyed the weekly yoga sessions with Eli a lot. Internet was always good enough for video calls and there's plenty of place to work. Since the place has only roughly 5-6 rooms for guests you have the chance to get to know every guest well, far away from small talks. Maybe I was just lucky, but I'm greatful for every person I met there and for the experience overall.
