  Description

  *** START ASAP: At the moment, we are looking for someone to help us clean two apartments in our apartment house, prepare them for winter, – as we are closed already. I would also need help organizing a couple of furnitures and smaller stuff. Length of stay: approx. 7 – 10 days ***
  
  Hi! My family and me, Orsolya, are renting out apartments in our house in Balatonfüred. Two years ago, I took over the vacation rental from my parents. Since my husband and daughter live in Austria and are just occasionally visiting, I am looking for people to help me with the rental. In exchange, you will get a unique experience at the beautiful Lake Balaton in Hungary.
  
  I am looking for proactive, reliable, and responsible people, who are willing to help. Please note that working hours are flexible as it hugely depends on whether we have check-outs/check-ins or not. For this reason, this role will be best for people who are okay with being flexible in regards to work/tasks.
  
  We can host up to 2 helpers. :-)
  
  Our apartment house is located in beautiful Balatonfüred. From our house, it is a 20-minute walk to Lake Balaton. In summer, Balatonfüred is usually very lively, especially during the wine festival “Borhetek” in August. The next biggest city nearby is Veszprém. You can take the bus to get there. Budapest is also easily accessible by train from Balatonfüred train station (approx. 2-hour ride)
  
  In our apartment house, there are 4 apartments we rent out during the summer season: 2 two-bedroom apartments for up to 5 people and 2 three-bedroom apartments for up to 12 people. (Size of the apartments: 75–85 m2) Our guests are mostly bigger groups of friends or families.
  
  If you are interested in spending time at Lake Balaton, exploring the area, and giving me a hand, do not hesitate to send me an e-mail. :-)
