Description
Hi, we live in the heart of the beautiful city of Metz. We have a heritage home that needs a lot of renovation work. We can host you on a separate floor with a separate bathroom and everything in Metz is within walking distance (monuments, shops, restaurants, bars...). The works include garden work, painting indoors and outdoors, metal railings to sand and paint, potentially others based on your capabilities.
We also have 2 young kids who we sometimes need babysitting for.
