Greetings, world! After decades of studying Jurisprudence and International Relations and navigating the bureaucratic labyrinth of governmental and non-governmental organizations, I've embarked on a new chapter of my life that comes with a twist: I'm now the proud owner of short-term rental accommodations. But not just any rental—it's a historic gem that was once my family home and the home of the renowned Armenian sculptor Mikael Mikaelyan in the 19th century! You heard that right— forget international treaties: Now I am tackling the more pressing issue of finding mysteriously disappearing TV remotes, negotiating with guests over how many pillows they need, and navigating the ever-changing landscape of reviews. It's not exactly what I envisioned for my golden years, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Life may be unpredictable, but it's certainly never dull! I've learned that running a short-term rental is a bit like herding cats—just when you think you've got everything under control, you realize there's a new set of challenges waiting for you. But through it all, I've discovered a newfound sense of freedom and happiness that can only come from being the captain of my own ship. My commitment to caring for every nook and cranny reflects my dedication to preserving the property's overall quality and appearance and creating memorable experiences for our guests. My passion is to revive our beloved heritage, and your stay supports this vision, for there's still much to accomplish. Experience the past in style and comfort. Book now and be part of my story. As a parting thought, please remember that I'm at your beck and call 24/7, ready to jump into action whenever you need assistance. Looking forward to hosting you! And don't forget, a stellar review is akin to the host striking gold!
