About the host
Hosted by Claudia
Welcome! My journey as a host began in Germany and took me through 15+ years in NYC, where I developed a passion for high-end service and detail-oriented home care. I believe a great stay starts with a perfectly prepared space. Whether it’s the crisp linens or the seamless check-in, I’m dedicated to making your visit stress-free and memorable. I love being a host because it allows me to share beautiful spaces with travelers from all over the world. When I'm not prepping homes, you can find me exploring local hiking trails or gardening.
