You will live with me in my small home with the cats and be clean and tidy at all times. Will give transfer transport to/from airport.
I am situated in the mountains where it is peaceful and tranquil with beautiful walks and views around. Nice place to find peace and quiet. Village and wineries local. Main town 45 mins away.
