Rebuilt with great fortitude after the original house collapsed in the 2010 earthquake, this home for ex–street boys offers a fantastic Haitian experience. The tall, sleek new building includes a rooftop lounge offering amazing city and mountain views, and well-kept shared rooms include bunk beds and pristine bathrooms. Delicious meals are taken communally. The guesthouse is located opposite Radio Haiti-Inter.
