自我介绍

Hey there! I’m a New Yorker who now calls South Jersey home for part of the year. I founded VERDES, a new and green vacation rental group. We are trying something different on Airbnb: creating and hosting truly sustainable short-term accommodations. In my travels, it has always bothered me how wasteful most hotels and other short-term rentals were. It seemed the default mode for most accommodations was to offer as many single-use products as possible in order to deliver a quality stay. We aim to prove this notion wrong: What if you can maintain a high-quality guest experience while minimizing environmental impact? In late 2021, we embarked on renovating a home using local materials, solar panels, smart-home technology, environmentally-friendly products, and a lot of help from friends and family. All of this was done without a personal car, to reduce the carbon footprint of the property. We are constantly optimizing and inventing ways to reduce our carbon footprint while exceeding our guests' expectations. We don’t believe in doing sustainability perfectly. Rather, we need tons of people doing it imperfectly! The culmination of this journey is now available for bookings. Come stay with us and see how enjoyable and easy sustainability can be!
