My stay at Gigi's place was short but I'll remember forever. The work is unpack/pack boxes, to clean some painting stains and etc, it's easy but you need to be fast and pay attention to follow her dynamic and rhythm. She always cook good meals for breakfast, dinner, and you can practice your English, Spanish, or whatever cause she speaks a lot of languages. Tks Gigi, you have a beautiful soul.

I had a great time in Rotterdam and Gisela was a lovely host! She was very welcoming and I loved the meals she prepared. I helped with building her website and moving some things in the house for the construction work that is starting soon. Overall the work was nice and the hours were reasonable so I had a lot of time to explore the city by myself after. The only downside was that I didn't have my own key so I couldn't come and go as I pleased but Gisela was mostly home and we managed to coordinate times pretty well :) Overall a good experience and I'm happy that I stayed with Gisela!

My stay at Gisela's was truly amazing! I enjoy it a lot. The work made fun and Gisela made sure to give you the right tasks so that you don't do anything wrong. Moreover, Gisela's hospitality was over the top. I felt very welcomed and I really appreciated it that she indeed cooked me breakfast and dinner everyday. Her food was amazing, I love it. There are no negative things I can point out it was truly a 10/10 experience but only due to Gisela's kindness and hospitality

Gisela es una amor de persona me recibió en su casa con los brazos abiertos, es muy trabajadora, humilde, amable, luchadora y fuerte. el trabajo en su casa no fue nada difícil, limpiar, ordenar, y pintar. Los horarios mejor hablarlo con ella con antelación.
