The house has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens (one wood-fired) and a lot of outdoor space to tend, weed, clean and keep organized.
We want people with a good energy who want to make good exchanges both in the house and in life. We seek new friendships, good connections and a peaceful experience.
We work with nonviolent communication and we are flexible in day-to-day life.
