The cleaner was really good and i m happy woth her service. However, she arrived at 3:30 pm and left at 7:20 PM. She stayed less than 4h because she was done with the service and i feel i shouldnt pay for more than 4h.

Angela is an absolutely lovely person, we enjoyed having her around and the quality of the service is exceptional. We have recently moved so having her clean around the space helped us declutter at the same time and finally enjoy our new place. She was also lovely with our puppy who is stressed with new people, he absolutely loved her and he can sometimes be a bit too much to manage.
