We had a fantastic experience with Kathrin.
She was very friendly and considerate, helped a lot in the apartment and quickly established a good connection with our little Felix, who loved to play and hang out with her. She always showed a great sense of responsibility, and proactively helped to run our place.
She was also a friendly and… read more

It was my first workaway-experience at Selma's and Jens' place and it could not have been better. I felt welcome from the beginning I walked in.
Selma and Jens are very friendly, easy-going and kind people and their son Felix is an adorable little guy.
My tasks were daily things in the household, like keeping everything clean. For myself, I felt… read more

Robin was a great guest, very friendly, considerate and always in a good mood.
He helped a lot in the apartment, and played with our little baby boy.
Keep up the good vibe! :-)

Great experience in the small family of Selma, Jens and Felix who are very welcoming. Their apartment in the heart of the old town is the perfect place to visit Ljubjana. I helped the family on a daily basis by cleaning, cooking or painting. The work was pretty easy and adapted to workaway ! I highly recommend this host.

Steffi was a big help, and a considerate and friendly guest.
A great plus: she clearly benefited from the experience with her younger siblings, as she knows well how to deal with little kids. Our little Felix instantly had a crash on her :-)
Hope to see you again, Steffi!

Just realized after... five months? I forgot to leave feedback :/
Better late than never!
I got to stay with Selma and Jens for two weeks when they lived in Berlin. Welcoming and kind, they are ideal hosts, and lovely people to talk to. Staying in their beautiful flat was an extremely pleasant experience.

True is a friendly guy and a considerate guest. We enjoyed his company and are grateful for his help in the apartment. Wish we would have had more time to spend with him. Next time!

Last week we had agreed on her arriving yesterday, but she simply didn't show up. When I contacted her, she apologized and indicated her interest in coming today instead. Well ... same story today: again she simply didn't show up, and only wrote to me after I contacted her.
In the last days I had declined two other WorkAway requests, as I was… read more
