Description
Hello, my name is Andrea. I am 61 years old and live with my husband Hans in one half of the house. I would describe myself as creative, open-minded, spiritual and straightforward. I have recently retired. My three daughters are grown up and already live separately from me. I moved into a new house three years ago. The large garden is already beautiful, but there is always something to do: mowing the lawn, pruning bushes, removing weeds, planting new plants, etc. It would be great if you already have experience with gardening. Sometimes the windows in the house need cleaning or other areas need cleaning. The length of stay would be 1-3 weeks.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Accommodation
The new house has two residential units. I live in one and you can live in the other. That means you have plenty of space for yourself (bedroom, large living room with kitchen, bathroom, WC). It's very quiet here, so you can relax in your free time. Many workawayers have already confirmed this to me. There is also a lovely terrace in the garden that you can use on your own. Recreational areas (forest) are on the doorstep, yet there are good public transport connections.
What else ...
A public bus that starts a few minutes from the house takes you to downtown Vienna in 30 minutes. The underground can be reached in 15 minutes on foot and also takes you to various culturally interesting places. There are countless sights, parks and museums to discover in Vienna. There are famous shopping streets as well as theater and concert offerings.

Given the good weather, I started working in the garden from the very first days, planting roses and shrubs and taking care of the plants already present. Andrea's garden isn't huge but it's gorgeous and full of different vegetation to maintain!
