    Description

    Hello, we are Polish-Slovak couple living with our two cats in a very calm area of island Madeira.

    We would need somebody to help us with cat-sitting, doing gardening, cleaning and various tasks around the house while we are on holidays (probably the second half of April/beginning of May).

    We prefer to host one person as we do not like crowds :) But we can discuss hosting a couples. And the ideal stay would be for around a week or two as we appreciate our privacy. We prefer 30+ Workawayers.
    In return we can offer a cozy room, ocean view and alternative/rock music playing around :)

    We are living close to the cliffs and we have a beautiful ocean view from our garden. It's rather quiet here but if you wanna go to the capital city to have some fun - it takes 50 minutes by car or you can go there by bus.
