Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host

My husband is Finnish and I’m from Puerto Rico. We met working on a sailboat in Fiji. We enjoy hosting and meeting people but we respect your space.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is great. We’re surrounded by country side and wheat fields. We have some neighbors but you don’t see them nor hear them. You have the views of the city in the distant and mountains right across. It truly feels like you are in the middle of nowhere while still being close to everything.
What makes this property unique
The newly remodeled living room and kitchen bring warmth to the house and the beautiful handcrafted antique furniture make it stand out. There’s art everywhere you look. From the furniture to the kitchen cabinets to the sculptures inside and out.
