Meet Pete & Georgie
“We always go the extra mile.”
Back in 2016 we bought and renovated a modest three-bedroom co-op. We had two goals: Pete needed extra money for grad school, and Georgie wanted to create an inspiring space for friends, family, and guests. Fast forward six years, and what started as a passion project has transformed into a thriving business that we're incredibly proud of.
Over the years, we've hosted 100+ guests, each leaving with fond memories and positive experiences. This journey has taught us the value of hospitality, and we're excited to bring that same warmth and care to your property. Whether you're looking to enhance your property's appeal or maximize your rental income, we're here to help every step of the way.
