A Feedback of a Host
"Yeongsik or 'Omar' for south america, was a great experience in the Bed and Breakfast. Very nice and polite, very quiet and carefull with everything. Despite of that, helpfull in every sense. Even Omar doesn´t cook ( just basics ), he helped out in everything else. And everything was done in a very professional way. He is very clean and lioves to weak up really early. This matched perfect for us."Age
