5/5 Maddie - Jan 14 2025 Wocholas came to our airbnb and made us dinner on Christmas Day, on the last day of our honeymoon. To say he is a talented chef is a drastic understatement - he is AMAZING. We will be talking about how delicious that white wine sauce was forever. And you can tell he cares about every little detail, including the music you’re listening to while you’re eating. The whole experience felt so elevated & special and was the perfect end to our honeymoon. Recommend wholeheartedlyView full review
