There are no words for how lovely these people are. We were there for four months. We have made life long friendships, Gina and Yo are generous and kind. The town is small, but if you like hiking and rafting this is the place to be. Thank you so much for the experience.

What a lovely family. Petra and Ondre are truly lovely people. There is a train close and a few towns to explore. If you are looking for a place in the beautiful country this is the place for you. You will be welcomed and treated very kindly.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us even if it was only for a week and a half.

Alexis and Vincent joined us for two weeks in August. They brought an incredibly energetic and engaging nature with them, that was beneficial in maintaining the good spirits of others.
They were both able to work independently and are very capable Workawayers.
We have no hesitation in recommending them for other hosts!
