How we work
Beyond the chat bubble — the work that happens before you ask.
Some of what we do is invisible by design. What a concierge actually does is one of those decisions that sounds like a detail and turns out to be the whole thing.
Why it's built this way
It would be cheaper and easier to do the ordinary thing. We didn't, because the ordinary thing is exactly the part that makes travel stressful.
You should be able to forget the logistics existed. That's what you paid for.
It costs us more to run it this way. We think it's the only way worth running.
