There are two condos in the building, and I’m often traveling and not staying on the property. When I am in the other unit, I’m happy to offer vacation tips or help with anything around the property, but there’s absolutely no pressure to interact—you can enjoy complete privacy if you prefer.
You can also message me through the platform anytime, 24/7, and I’ll respond as quickly as possible.
