Meet Cristine
A software engineer with a garden soul, a Târgu Mureș local who turned a love for good living into a place for strangers to feel at home.
Cristine Eross
Software Engineer & Community Facilitator
Cristine is the soul of Artsy Homes. A software engineer by training and a community builder by calling, she’s spent years connecting people across Târgu Mureș — through workshops, local initiatives and the kind of quiet hospitality that makes strangers feel like neighbours.
Her love for houseplants started with a single pothos on a windowsill and grew, literally, into the lush living space you’ll find waiting for you. Every shelf, every trailing vine, every herb on the kitchen ledge has her fingerprints on it. The curated book collection — spanning Romanian literature, world fiction, philosophy and design — is her gift to every guest who arrives curious.
Before Artsy Homes, Cristine hosted guests in Budapest, managing short-stay apartments with the same meticulous warmth. She knows what travellers need before they know it themselves.
More than a place to sleep —
a home that hosts
Artsy Homes is what happens when warmth and precision share the same address. Every decision — from the linen thread count to the custom furniture with actual storage space — was made by someone who genuinely loves where she lives and wants you to feel the same.
Cristine’s family lives just a building away. Not as an afterthought, but intentionally — because good hosting means being present, available and genuinely delighted to see you.
We live here
Literally one building away. Not a faceless rental — a home with neighbours who care.
Personal arrival
We're happy to meet you in person when you arrive. No cold key boxes — a warm welcome if you want one.
Local knowledge
Born and rooted in Târgu Mureș. Ask us anything — coffee, culture, hiking trails, where locals actually eat.
Always a message away
Whether it's 9am or a late-night question, we're reachable. Responsive, real and happy to help.
"We didn't want to just rent out a space. We wanted to share the way we live — the books we love, the plants we tend, the films we watch on rainy nights. If you leave having discovered one new author, one great coffee spot or one film you'd never heard of, we've done our job."
Cristine & Tom Eross Târgu Mureș, Romania
We'd love to hear from you
