Lupe and her team are the best Airtaskers I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with a lot! Incredibly competent, amazing communication, kind and professional. After moving a ton of single beds we realised the one left behind didn’t fit in the space so Lupe then moved it back from the garage into the house. And even fixed a broken towel rail while they were here! Thank you so much.
