About the host
Hosted by Rafal
We are a young international couple (Polish - Venezuelan), passionate about traveling and hosting travelers. Architecture, building and creating spaces are one of our passions and missions in life.
We enjoy providing and receiving a positive experience as a host and as a guest. A good service is always as important and essential as the property itself.
We love to travel and discover new places and will keep doing it at any time possible for the rest of our lives.
Our favorite destinations are usually close to the ocean and mountains. We always look forward planning our next trip and having a great experience, which helps us having a major empathy with any group we get to host.
5 things we can't live without: air, water, food, love and peace of mind.
As a guest we are very respectful, super clean (I am not kidding), quiet, friendly and responsible. We love and enjoy super clean places as well. We take excellent care of any place we visit. We treat other owner’s property the same way we would like our guest reat ours :-)
As a host, we enjoy our guest independence. Our goal is to provide a pleasant, clean and neat space they can enjoy during their stay.
We do not like to bother our guest at all unless requested or necessary. We are very flexible, responsible and friendly but clear and strict when guest or group violate the house rules.
Our favorites life motto:
"Do more than just exist" "Don't call it a dream, call it a plan"
