Meet Cristine & Tom
A software engineer with a garden soul and a dentist with a director's eye — two Târgu Mureș locals 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.
Tom Eross
Dentist & Technology Enthusiast
Tom is the quiet architect of Artsy Homes' technology layer. By day he's a dentist with a steady hand and a precise mind. By evening he's deep in a game, curating a film list or tinkering with another smart-home integration that makes the apartment feel like it just understands you.
The smart lock that lets you check in on your own schedule, the doorbell that keeps you safe, the lighting scenes that shift from sunrise to cinema mode at a tap — all Tom. So is the board game collection tucked in the cabinet, the carefully maintained film library on the TV, and the ceiling projector that turns the living room into a private cinema on rainy Mureș evenings.
His philosophy is simple: technology should disappear into comfort. You shouldn't have to think about it — it should just work, beautifully.
More than a place to sleep —
a home that hosts
Artsy Homes is what happens when Cristine's warmth and Tom's precision share the same address. Every decision — from the linen thread count to the Sonos playlist presets — was made by two people who genuinely love where they live and want you to feel the same.
They live 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."
