If you like you can bring bedlinnen, towels and such. Otherwise we will provide that.
We have small kids and the limited time we have with them after school before bed is sacred. Sometimes we spend time together after work but don't depend on it. We do go together all of us on some activities and try to show the surrounding areas and here is bicycles for your use.
We have free internet.
We are conscious eaters and mostly eat vegetarian food but meat from time to time.
Sometimes we will eat together but be prepared to cook for yourself most of the times. You will always have breakfast for yourselves. We will keep the pantry filled with basic stock. We cannot provide a full vegan diet so that extra you have to provide yourself. Also we don't provide meat for your own meals.
Most important is to bring good working clothes and shoes.
