    The property was absolutely noce and cost. The place is outside the centre. We arrived there after the sunset so it was hard to figure out where we were. In the morning everything was clear.

    Very friendly owner, Erica - open and helpful. The place is quiet and let us learn how people at the end of the world live. Fast wifi ;)

    We only stayed for two nights, but enjoyed our stay. The room is quite large and very clean. The owner is extremely friendly and not only helped us with an early morning flight, she drove us herself!

    Your home away from home in Ushuaia

    It's a 20-25 minute walk into the centre of Ushuaia, though this wasn't really an issue for us. There are some lively dogs in the neighbourhood, so if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs.

    This was one of our favourite places that we stayed at in Argentina. It's not a conventional hostel – think of it more like a homestay, with a family who are very accustomed to having strangers who barely speak any Spanish share their kitchen and living room. The owner, Erica, is a lovely host: she was extremely accommodating, letting us check in early when we arrived on a morning flight, and was constantly offering to drive us around (at Uber rates!) if we needed it. Given how expensive everything else is in Ushuaia, this place is a real bargain.

    It is worth noting that the property is about a half hour walk out of town - we didn’t mind because we like walking and the views are beautiful. Positive is that Erica will drive you into town if you need. So not really an issue but something to be aware of

    We loved our stay here, Erica and Luis are so kind and helpful - we got an airport pick up, early morning bus stop off and they drove us to hike Laguna Esmerelda and then picked us up again at the end, for very reasonable price. Comfy rooms and nice views. Access to kitchen for cooking or storing food.

    Nothing it was perfect.

    The lady who owns the house is amazing. She dropped us into town and to the airport, she helped us with walks and things to do. She did our washing at a small cost. House is lovely and clean, bedroom was so warm and comfortable. Kitchen that we shared with other guests was clean and socialable. The family are lovely and the cat is so cute. Would highly recommend staying here. Our favourite stay out of 10 places we’ve stayed so far in Argentina.

    It is a little far from the centre of town, but we like to walk so that didn't bother us for the most part. This is a very small drawback.

    Erica was amazing. She gave us lots of information and links for tours, landmarks and ideas for things to do. She was very welcoming and her home was extremely clean! Her family was kind and helpful as well. When we were pressed for time (early morning start or getting to/from the airport), Erica drove us for a small fee. Through my poor spanish and Erica's great translator app, we were able to communicate about many things.

    Apart from being a bit far from down town, Casa de Familia is highly recommended.

    Honestly, I have no complaints. Even though Erica spoke practically no English, we communicated easily with a little bit of Translator and lots of smiles and hand signs and gestures. As well, her teenage son speaks excellent English, which helped a lot during the first 5 minutes. Only negative comment : Casa de Familia is a bit far from the port. (Estimated 40 minute walk - I took a taxi).

    The owner, Erica is a real angel. When I requested a taxi, she offered to drive me to the centre of town , to meet my friends. She gave me her WhatsApp contact, so I could ask her to drive me back to the BnB after dinner, around midnight. And on the last day she drove me to the airport. All the above for an extremely moderate fee. I would gladly stay there again.

    You really live in the family house, you do need to be comfortable with that. The room however is very private.

    Being a guest in the family house was very nice. Clean room and nice shared bathroom. Erica also offers transport services to all the highlights, which we used a few times.

    It is a nice house in which you live with the owner and her family. The owner is really nice and we liked to talk to her. She always told us about sights and gave us everything we needed. We could also cook there (the kitchen has everything you need). Our room had an amazing view over the sea and we loved to enjoy it while eating. Overall a really nice stay!

    Not what you expect from a homestay.

    - Expensive for what you get - Basic room located outside the center (taxi takes 5 mins and costs 300ARS, but beware sometimes you have to wait long because of the lack of taxis in the neighborhood. - The family doesn’t really give you a warm welcome, we had to pay the full amount immediately when we arrived, even though we arrived really late at night after a long flight. They charge for everything (airport pick-up, use of laundry machine) and gave no recommendations about local places or tours, which is something you expect from a homestay. They cannot speak English. - The shared bathroom is not very clean - The door of the room doesn’t lock well

    - only place we could find available last minute
