I had the best of times as Larry's holiday rentals. Communication was excellent from the start. He even took time out for an online call to get to know each other and clarify expectations before we agreed on the workaway.

He gave me tips to plan my travel, which was invaluable and safed me from ending up in San Jose without any reason.

This was my first workaway experience and it was different from what I expected, but I still very much love the idea of it: staying longer at a place and give back with the competences that you have.

Larry and Oscar were great hosts! We really enjoyed our time in Monteverde. The location itself is beautiful and serene. During your time in Monteverde you're almost guaranteed to see spectacular wildlife. The town and community are friendly and welcoming. Larry was traveling abroad while we looked after his four rental units and did some yard… read more work and side projects for his dad (Oscar). We enjoyed the freedom of not being micromanaged but the direction and guidance if we needed it. Larry is a chill guy yet super professional and knows the tourism industry well. He has a lot of cool pro tips if you're looking to go into the business one day. The lodging we had at Larry's was also great, especially compared to what some other Workaway places offer. We had a little apartment style lodging. Included a small kitchen, bedroom and our own toilet and shower. Hot water, gas burner and refrigerator. Washer and drying line located behind the lodging. A short walk into town only 15 - 25 minutes depending on where you're going. We enjoyed being outside of town but close enough to walk into town to buy groceries or go to the local restaurants and shops. Marlene, one of the staff members, was on location frequently to handle most of the unit cleaning. She is super friendly and was great to practice our Spanish with. Larry and Oscar also have a dog and he is just the cutest thing. We enjoyed taking him on daily walks through the trails located behind the property. Our duties ranged from checking in guests to their rental units. Giving them information on activities nearby. Booking their tours, arranging transportation and taxis for guests. Sometimes we would clean the rooms after guests left and other times we would just need to tidy up a room if it had been a few days since anyone had stayed in a unit, before a new guest checked-in. We also did weeding, gardening, mowing, painting and other various projects around the property. The guests are normally super friendly and appreciative of all the information you give them. Sometimes we even had dinner or watched World Cup soccer games in town with them if they wanted to join us. The guests are absolutely part of the positives of this Workaway. Not only are Larry, Oscar, Marlene, and the dog all great but so are the rental guests! My boyfriend and I definitely recommend this Workaway whole heatedly. Oscar and Larry also supported us at the very end when my partner had a bit of a health scare. We are forever grateful to them both. They have a home to visit wherever we end up in the future. Xx
