About the host
Hosted by UrbanStay
Welcome to UrbanStay! Our team of industry-leading experts is the perfect mix of professionalism and playfulness. You know, business in the front, party...everywhere else, really. We're always available if you need us, but everything will be running so smoothly you’ll forget we exist. (Did I just write our mission statement?) How about "our mission is to host guests so seamlessly that they forget we're even here". Haha, my marketing team is gonna tear it to shreds, but wow, writing gives me such a rush. Maybe I’ll start a blog. Anything’s better than a podcast. But I digress! Okay, just to cover all bases: please don't hesitate to reach out if you need ANYTHING at all. The WiFi password? (It's in the guest guidebook). More towels? (Under the sink in the master bathroom). Friends? (Me too-- let's meet up on Rainey street!). Cheers! *cue clinking noises*
