We are a married couple in our mid-40s, each with over 20 years experience as hospitality professionals. We are wizards of making ourselves and those around us comfortable. We are kind & direct communicators with each other and our roommate.
At this time one of us is working as a beverage director and the other is in a project development phase. We’ve both traveled extensively and have each lived in multiple countries. We’ve cultivated a tranquil home and while we really enjoy living with all sorts of people, we also mostly keep to ourselves.

We have a small personable chihuahua who has lived successfully with other pets. We are open to other dogs living here but do require a meet & greet of the pups before final confirmation.
