The Team Behind Awayo
Justin and Samantha are the ones who answer when you call, handle issues when they come up, and make sure your place is ready before you walk in the door. They oversee every property in the portfolio and keep the whole operation running together.
There's no team of strangers rotating through. It's Justin, Samantha, and a small crew they trust, with a simple promise: your stay is their responsibility.
Midwest Based, Locally Managed
We don't manage from a distance. Our team knows which blocks are walkable, which buildings have the best light, and which spots guests actually want to be near.
One Team, Start to Finish
From your first booking question to your last night, you're talking to the same people who manage the property.
Reach Samantha Anytime
Got a question at 10 PM? Need an extra set of towels? Reach Samantha directly at +1 (312) 796-9275 or samantha@goawayo.com.
