The host was very friendly, kind and helpful before and during the stay (and we asked him one million things, he never stopped responding and offering his help🫶🫶). Every morning he prepared a very tasty, large, homemade breakfast for everyone (he made the yogurt and jam himself). This was very helpful since hiking days in patagonia are kinda exhausting. The heating was working very well also!! We felt like home ❤️
