Ari is a super nice guy! Quite cool and relaxed but also very polite. Also his little son is a friendly and polite kid.
He wants that you feel good during your stay.
The work is quite good, some tasks in the garden or in the house (laundry etc.)
I liked my nearly two weeks very much!
Thanks a lot for everything!
have a good time Ari!

I stayed with Ari for 3 weeks. My experience at his place was great. He answered my request directly and was very open about when I can come and how long I can stay at his home. He was even so nice to pick me up in Reykjavík. I was surprised that he has no dog anymore as it was stated differently in his profile and he just told me so at my… read more

I'm very grateful to Ari as my stay was last minute, but he welcomed me into his home with no problem.
My main job was the look after Boris which isn't a job at all, he was great company to have around, very friendly and energetic dog which took you for a walk more so than the other way around.

Ari...is a cool guy and a very kind person!
I spent almost a month in his house and everything went very smoothly; the work is easy, walking Boris the Black Labrador, cooking and cleaning the guest cabin.
Ari, as I told you already, I love your kids, your dog and I wish you all the best in your life!!!!
Big kiss :kissing_heart:

Time which I spent there was just fantastic. Sometimes I felt useless because work was so easy and it took to me max 1.5 hour per day.

The last one it is even not a work actually)) Me and Boris walked a lot every day, explored area and… read more

Ari and I are homies for life! I was happy that he didn't mind my dark, sometimes dull humor as he's quite funny himself! Though my stay was short, I have no doubt that I can one day just drive up and show up at his house for a surprise! I loved being with Boris. He's young and overly excited... kind of like me so we get along! The house is neat… read more
