*OVERVIEW: Look, we hate having to lay out rules as much as you hate having to follow them. So we’ve identified the things that are REALLY important to us so please read them and be respectful of our needs so we can be great hosts for you. * PROFILE PICTURE: Please upload a profile picture where we can identify you by sight. This is our only way of ensuring we let you in and not a stranger. We require the names of all guests in your party at the time you book. The guest in whose name the booking is made must be physically present at check-in unless previously agreed. * CHECK IN/CHECK OUT: Check in is any time after 3PM, Check out by 11AM. * PETS: For the comfort of our own pets, we do not allow any other animals in the house.

Want to play some music or watch a show on your laptop – go ahead. You may want to bring headphones if you watch during quiet hours. *VISITORS: We are perfectly happy having people pop by to pick up our guests, but we would prefer that you not use our home to entertain them. We’d be happy to help you find other places to spend time with your family and friends, for example working out details to pack a picnic to take or making a dinner reservation. Guests booking a Private Room may not entertain visitors without prior agreement from the Host.

If you desire a home-cooked meal instead of eating out, please work that out in advance. Clean all dishes after use & return to where you found them (This helps keep cleaning fees down). If you would like to use any of the food from our refrigerator or cabinets, please ask the host first. * FRIDGE USAGE AND BREAKFAST: You can put food in the refrigerator, please label any food with your name and date.
