She did an amazing job. This was a deep move out clean (14 years in that apt) I had her clean the refrigerator (inside and out) and stove. I booked 5 hours of cleaning and decided to add an additional hour because she was doing such a great job and wanted to make sure we had time for the floors too. Very happy with…

Decided last minute to have my apartment professionally cleaned to make life easier whilst moving out… Best thing I ever did. I can’t recommend this maid service more especially for the pricing. They got a lot more done in the time limit than I thought they’d be able to. Thank you!!! **$240 for 2h total with 2 maids…
