As an architect and carpenter, I bring over a decade of experience managing Airbnb listings, many of which are my designs and constructions. Includes winning the Airbnb OMG Grant, a recognition that supported one of our standout properties. Professionally, I'm dedicated to each Architecture project from concept to reality. I enjoy exploring new places with my family, friends, and girlfriend and pursuing cycling adventures in challenging terrains.
Guests have access to a spacious, secluded area of the working farm, which includes direct access to the canal. Guests are free to enjoy fishing along the canal during their stay. Please respect the privacy around the neighbourhood, its a lovely peaceful area.
