    Description

    I live in stunning French Polynesia, and I need to do some works and maintenance in my little flat in Papeete (a studio apartment).
    If you are a good handyman (handywoman ;o) ), and especially if you have some experience in home renovation / home staging (woodcraft or furniture building, plumbing, walls painting, ...) don't hesitate to contact me to see if we can "deal" together ;o)
    I can let you stay in my studio, that is perfectly located, ie downtown and very close to the waterfront in Papeete, and near everything (a beautiful park on the see side, shops, the movie theatres, Papeete's Market, restaurants, the famous food trucks, bars, ....,).

    Please contact me only if already or soon in FPolynesia because I won't be able to accept you long in advance since I rarely know my schedule ahead !

    In exchange of your help, you'll be hosted downtown in Papeete, in a very nice location, from where you'll be able to walk to the famous market, the pearl museum, the Paofai park where you can admire stunning sunsets and do some sports, etc ....
    The location is also great because it's close to many things (restaurants, shops, movie theatres, historic buildings in Papeete, churches and temples, ....)

    I'm not much of a cooking person, but feel free to cook for yourself in the studio's kitchen, and I can bring you some healthy snacking and/or take away food.

    And depending on my schedule, I'll have more or less time to share with you, whether to work with you in the apartment or to chat with you and share with you my experience of French Polynesia

    Help

    Your help is welcome for some maintenance and renovation works in my little studio apartment in Papeete.
    The apartment is fairly small, with only 1 room + 1 bathroom, and I plan on painting the walls and ceilings, rebuilding the kitchen furnitures, do a little maintenance on the electricity and plumbing, and the rest in more a matter of home staging than renovation.
    If you're a good and serious handyman, or even a cabinetmaker, a plumber, a wall painter, you're very welcome :-) (otherwise I prefer to do the job myself, lol ! ;o) )

    Please contact me only if already or soon in FPolynesia because I won't be able to accept you in advance since I rarely know my schedule in advance !

    Accommodation

    The accomodation is in my studio, that is perfectly located, ie downtown and very close to the waterfront in Papeete, and near everything (a beautiful park on the seaside, shops, Papeete's Market, restaurants, food trucks, bars, ....,).
    The idea though is to stay in the apartment while renovating it, so I know it's not the most comfortable accomodation you can get, but since it's a small apartment, the works will be small too, so it should be fine ;o)
