Lea and Paul were very responsible people who worked very well on everything we asked of them.
They were very accommodating when it came to accommodating us in the house we provided. Upon checkout, they left it very clean and tidy. My experience was positive, and I recommend them.

Had a lovely time working alongside Alberto at the restaurant he was managing. We had the chance to stay at a closed down hostel and he provided food during our time there. Communication was great and the task at hand well described.His family was very welcoming too. Gracias y hasta luego
