Michel is the best host as workaway I had ever seen.

Also I have peace in his house for one month and I familier more with dutch culture and Dutch people there.
Thanks Michel for everything :relaxed::hugging:

Michel is relaxed, open-minded and flexible. He also gives you freedom and flexibility to do your work. In the house I did painting, sanding, some cleaning and a little bit of gardening.
Is a very good opportunity to collaborate with a nice person while you discover Amsterdam. Totally recommended!

Michel was a great host to work for. He is very easy to get along with, flexible, and relaxed/fair about what needs to be done. We helped with the sanding, painting, as well as a little bit of cooking and gardening. Thank you Michel for making our time in Amsterdam so enjoyable!
