The House

The house that dances.

A renovated 1960s family house in Miraflores, painted, planted and furnished with mismatched love. Walk through it space by space.

Mosaic tables, string lights and lounge sofas in the open courtyard; murals, gravel and pallet sofas in the patio — sometimes with a visiting dog asleep on the best cushion.

Gardens & hammocks

A floral garden wraps around the house, with hammocks strung between palms and ferns and a hummingbird painted on the wall. It's how a hostel earns the line 'the greenest in town'.
