“This non-project was unplanned. It just happened. It became part of my life as a business coach and with love for Banská Štiavnica.
A 15th Century house, natural cultural heritage, with preserved vaults, frescos, original plaster and with its atmosphere, was first just for my weekend stays.
In line with the zero-waste philosophy and the aim to keep only what I use, I share this private space with my guests. There is my half-read book, grandma’s cups, and my favorite artwork, as if I had only just left when my guests entered. I do not own a TV, only books and a fire in the fireplace. The apartments do not have a website nor own social media, only Airbnb. I do not even have a PC, only a phone. There is just my personal Facebook and Instagram. Because business should be simple and I should be always easy to reach.
I rely on the help of a community of supporters, my face, the design of the apartments, and my obsession to give guests more than they expect. Because here, you live with love.”
