About the host

I'm an Airbnb Superhost and work for a software company in New York City. My wife and I opened our Bushwick, Brooklyn apartment (we live in the upstairs apartment, which is a completely separate unit) to guests from around the world and we love hosting. In particular, we love introducing guests to the numerous hidden gems in the immediate area and beyond. We created this website so we could eliminate Airbnb commissions and be more selective with our guests.
