Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
- Since this is our home (we only rent it when traveling for extended periods), please be respectful of our personal items.
- If you're allergic, note that we have a dog (he won't be in the apartment when you stay there, though!).
- This is a quiet building with permanent residents in the other 2 units. Please be respectful with regard to noise.
- No large or loud parties. Any gathering which includes more than 10 people (including the registered Airbnb guests) requires advance written approval by the owners.
- No smoking of any kind inside or near the building entryway
- Please keep / leave the place neat.
- Trash pick up days are Tuesday and Friday. If you're here during those days, please bring your trash outside to the curb either after 5:30pm on Monday and Thursday or before 6am on Tuesday and Friday.
- Please don't leave food out or dirty dishes in the sink. We're in the city - the building is immaculate, and we don't want to attract any "uninvited guests" (pests).
- Feel free to use spices, condiments, and other cooking ingredients. But if you finish anything and don't have time to replace it, please let us know so that we're not caught without any necessities when we return home!
- Before you check out, please run the dishwasher or wash/dry any dishes.
