Hi, I’m Massiel, and hospitality is my heart and soul.

I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, where hospitality was part of everyday life. From an early age, I was inspired by both the sophistication of luxury hotels and the warmth of bed-and-breakfasts, and I dreamed of creating spaces that combined both.

At 17, I moved to the U.S. with my family and later pursued a career in finance, working on Wall Street and gaining valuable experience in business and analysis. After leaving corporate America, I transitioned into sales, where I developed strong communication and relationship-building skills.

My path eventually led me to short-term rentals, where I discovered the opportunity to merge my business background with my passion for hospitality. What began as a single property quickly grew as guests recognized my focus on care, detail, and consistency. This became the foundation for Host Refined, a brand dedicated to delivering high-quality stays and guest experiences

Today, I take pride in curating spaces that aren’t just places to stay but places to experience. Whether it’s a cozy city escape or a stylish retreat, every guest is welcomed with warmth, comfort, and a personal touch.

I’d love to take your rental to the next level make your guest experience an unforgettable stay!
