The Experience

My wonderful little beachproperty and Lillebror the cat needs care while me and my dogs travel a lot 😊. This property have a unique position by the beach located just about the arctic circle and nearby Lofoten Islands. 10 min drive from Saltstraumen (worlds biggest maelstrom and great fishing). Beautiful mountains and forests all around close nearby. Northern Lights and Midnight sun depending on season. Bus stop nearby with 25 min to town centre

I really enjoyed my stay. The cat Lillebror is very friendly and easy to take care of. I already miss him ! Surrounded by nature, we could just walk and see beautiful landscapes. Monica is really nice and available for any question. The tasks, such as gardening, were really easy. Thank you for opening your house to us, it truly felt like home :)

Monica was an amazing host. She wasn't at the house during most of my stay, there was another WP member who I shared my time with. We had the most cosy stay! Her house is beautiful and her pets are even more amazing! Her cat is my favourite and I'll miss him dearly. The work was pretty chill, a few hours in the garden and helping with the cat while she was away. The weather wasn't great during my stay, but Monica's house made for the most spectacular comfortable cosy stay! Would recommend to anyone who wants to relax and unwind

I really enjoyed my stay here. The tasks were very reasonable and Monica was always available for any questions I had. Lillebror the cat is very sweet and will be happy to receive pets from you. There is a good bus system that you can walk to from the house. I would absolutely recommend this opportunity for people wanting to visit a more rural part of Norway. Thank you Monica!

Monica is an incredible and fascinating human, who I felt so inspired by. She was open, and helpful, and gave me all of the resources I'd need! It was a magical time staying in her sweet Bodø home with Lillebrod (the cuddliest cat I've ever met). I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone :)

My stay here was amazing. The house and the location are both lovely and even more so is Lillebror the cat :). Monica was traveling during my stay and was available for every question I had.
