I had very great experience with Inesa and Adrian, hardworking, and very easy going, being that the house is remote and off-the grid...they fit right in and made themself at home. They kept the room clean and organized. I would definitely host them again. Thank you guys for helping us out....so many thanks to you and your kind nature.

Very friendly, well discipline and a very hard worker. He also was super kind enough to put in more hours than was required. He has completely transformed my backyard from the mess it was. He's… read more
