Description
Hey there,
My name is Colm, I’m 38 years old, I live with Amelie my girlfriend and Martina who is renting a room in the house. We have a dog called Bella and a cat called Luna.
We have a nice house near the sea and Galway City and we are looking for somebody for one or two weeks asap. I want to give the house a deep clean. With a dog and a cat and a lot of people in the house, it could do with a deep clean and I don't have much time at the moment with work, so this would help me out. The atmosphere in the house is friendly and you will have plenty of time to see Galway and visit the surrounding areas.
I want somebody who actually enjoys cleaning and can get a good bit of work done in a day.
Otherwise I may ask for help with cooking, minding my dog Bella and possibly gardening.
The house is well located, very close to Salthill Promenade (the Atlantic Ocean) and walking distance to Galway City Centre.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Colm

Staying with Colm was a positive experience. There were many small DIY jobs waiting for us in his house. Our French cooking was appreciated. Just a stone's throw from the beach, we enjoyed the ocean. We also enjoyed the city of Galway. Colm likes to exchange a lot and we learned a lot about the Irish. Thank you for this stay.

I stayed 2 1/2 weeks at Colm's place and enjoyed the time. The house in Salthill is in a nice location right by the sea so you can have plenty of walks along it, walking his dog Bella who is very playful! It's also a great spot to explore Galway being a short walk from the centre. The work was relatively easy and light, cleaning, tidying, cooking,… read more

Carles is a great guy. I can't say enough good things about him to be honest. He is a pleasure to have around, kind and helpful, and he gave his total attention to the jobs that he was doing. One of the last jobs he did was to repair and joint some walls that I wanted to leave exposed inside the house. It was a real masterpise by the end.
