All are easily accessibly by bike or by car/Lyft/Uber. Other Things to Note • Historic Building: This apartment is on the ground floor of a 1919 home with two other units above. Because of the home’s age, you may hear footsteps or other sounds from above. We provide earplugs and enforce quiet hours (9 PM – 9 AM), but if you’re sound-sensitive, this may not be the best fit. • Shared Areas: The laundry room and outdoor spaces (front porch, fire pit, grill, hammocks) are shared with guests in the other two apartments and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

🏡 House Rules

-----------------------------------

Thank you for your interest in staying with us. We work hard to create welcoming, thoughtfully designed properties — the kind of places we would want to stay ourselves.

Please treat the property, neighbors, and our team with care and respect. By booking with us, you — and everyone you invite to the property — agree to follow these rules and acknowledge the terms outlined in the Legal section below. We're happy to answer any questions, so if something is unclear, just ask.

👥 Guest Count & Occupancy Our pricing varies based on the number of people included in the reservation. To make sure your rate is accurate, please confirm your guest count before booking.

Your reservation should include all overnight guests, regardless of age. We define overnight guests as anyone on the property after 9 PM.

We structure pricing this way intentionally. Smaller groups cate fewer variable costs — such as cleaning time, linens, utilities, supplies, and wear and tear — and we pass those savings on to them. Larger groups naturally require more resources, so rates adjust accordingly. This allows us to keep the property affordable and fair for groups of all sizes.

If someone will be staying only part of your reservation, please let us know in advance. With prior written approval, we can bill additional guests on a per-night basis for the nights they are present.

Daytime Visitors Daytime or early-evening visitors are welcome, provided you: •do not exceed the maximum occupancy of the listing •are respectful of the property and neighbors •clean up after your visitors •ensure visitors leave before 9 PM

If you have any questions about guest count or visitors, just ask — we're happy to clarify. Parties, Unreported Guests & Excess Occupancy We have a strict no-party policy.

If you bring unreported overnight guests, host a gathering, or exceed maximum occupancy without prior written approval, we may: charge additional guest fees (up to 2× the applicable additional guest rate), and/or terminate the reservation and require all guests to leave without refund.

If excess occupancy results in additional cleaning, damage, refunds, relocation, or other operational costs, you agree to reimburse those expenses.

👤 Booking Responsibility Please book for yourself unless we've approved otherwise in advance.

If you're reserving on behalf of someone else, let us know ahead of time and provide contact information for the staying guest. The booking guest remains responsible for ensuring house rules are followed and for any resulting damages or fees.

🔕 Quiet Hours Quiet hours are 9 PM – 9 AM.

Many of our properties are in older buildings or near full-time neighbors. Sound travels more than people expect. Please be mindful of music, conversations, and heavy footsteps — especially later in the evening.

Noise-monitoring devices are in use at the property to help us respond to neighbor concerns. These devices detect decibel levels only — they do not record conversations.

If we receive a complaint or if behavior disrupts neighbors, we may reach out to ask you to reduce noise. Continued disturbances or failure to respond may result in early termination of the reservation without refund.

🐶 Pet Policy As pet lovers, we understand how important it is to travel with your pets. As a general rule, we're happy to host dogs.

Each dog must be added to your reservation under the "pets" category. The pet fee is charged per pet. If you're unsure whether your pet has been added, please ask.

More than two dogs — or pets other than dogs — require advance written approval.

Pet owners are responsible for: •cleaning all waste (indoors and outdoors) •promptly cleaning any accidents •managing shedding (bringing blankets or covers if needed) •preventing disruptive or aggressive behavior •keeping pets leashed in all outdoor areas •assuming full responsibility for their pet's safety •ensuring their pets are not a threat or nuisance to neighbors, other guests, or animals on site

The pet fee covers standard wear. Damage, excessive cleaning (including shedding, accidents, and messes), or disruption to neighbors or other guests is billable.

Unreported pets are subject to a $50 additional cleaning fee per pet, in addition to the standard pet fee.

Service animals performing trained tasks may be excluded from the pet fee; however, damage, disruption, or additional cleaning remains billable.

🚭 No Smoking or Vaping Indoors Smoking or vaping is not permitted inside the property.

A $200 remediation fee will apply if evidence of indoor smoking is found. If additional cleaning, equipment, refunds, or relocation of other guests is required beyond standard remediation, those costs will also be billed.

Outdoor smoking is permitted away from entrances and windows, with proper disposal of all materials.

Illegal activity of any kind is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of the reservation without refund.

🚗 Parking Parking availability and rules vary by property. Details specific to your reservation will be provided in your welcome instructions.

Please park only in designated areas and comply with any posted signage, building rules, or local regulations. Guests are responsible for any parking citations, towing fees, or fines incurred during their stay.

⏰ Check-In Check-in begins at 4 PM.

Our properties are self-check-in. You may arrive anytime after check-in begins. If arriving late at night, please be mindful of noise as others may be sleeping.

Early check-in requires advance written approval and may involve an additional fee. Please do not arrive early without confirmation.

⏰ Check-Out Check-out is by 11 AM.

We schedule turnover staff and incoming reservations around this time. Staying past check-out without written approval creates real operational disruption. Guests who remain past checkout without permission are overstaying their reservation.

If you'd like a late departure, reach out in advance. Late check-outs may be available for an additional fee but must be approved in writing before your departure date.

Unapproved late departures are charged $50 per hour, rounded up.

If a late departure materially interferes with an incoming reservation — including requiring us to block the calendar, delay or cancel a stay, or re-accommodate another guest — you will be responsible for resulting costs. These charges are in addition to the hourly late departure fee and may include the applicable nightly rate or other documented expenses.

In the rare case a guest overstays without communication, we reserve the right to enter the unit to prepare for incoming guests. If belongings must be moved to allow turnover, you will be charged for the time required in addition to any applicable late-stay fees. If keys or access devices are issued for your stay, all keys and access devices must be returned at checkout. Lost, missing, or unreturned keys, key cards, garage openers, or other access devices will incur a $100 replacement fee per item, along with any additional costs required to secure the property if necessary.

🧼 Cleaning & Departure Expectations

Your turnover cleaning fee covers: •laundering linens and towels •disinfecting and cleaning surfaces •trash removal from in-unit receptacles •restocking standard supplies

It does not cover: •dirty dishes •excessive garbage •spills or stains •excessive pet hair or waste •moving furniture or décor

Before departure, please: •wash dishes •place trash in indoor bins (no need to take it outside — just don't leave it strewn about) •return any moved items to their original location •leave towels in a pile •leave dirty beds unmade

If additional labor is required to restore the property to its original condition, extraordinary cleaning time will be billed.

💸 Damage, Disruption & Liability You are responsible for damage, excessive cleaning, rule violations, or disruptions caused by anyone in your group — including visitors you invite to the property.

Outlined fees (such as smoking, pet, or additional guest charges) do not cap or limit your total responsibility.

If your stay results in: •property damage •specialty or excessive cleaning •delayed turnover •refunds or concessions to neighboring or subsequent guests •relocation or re-accommodation expenses •building, HOA, or municipal fines •documented remedies required to address neighbor complaints or operational impact ...you agree to reimburse those costs.

If behavior during your stay materially disrupts neighbors or impacts the continued operation of the property, and we must take reasonable, documented steps to remedy the situation, you are responsible for those associated expenses.

🛠 Maintenance & Access If something isn't working, please let us know promptly so we can address it as quickly as possible.

We reserve the right to enter the property at reasonable times with reasonable notice to inspect, maintain, or address issues. In cases of emergency, active safety concerns, or ongoing rule violations, we may enter without advance notice.

📅 Cancellations & Changes We are a small business and do not oversell our properties. When you book, we reserve those dates specifically for you and turn away other potential guests.

Cancellation terms are governed by the platform through which you booked and the rate selected at the time of booking. Many of our reservations are non-refundable. In some cases, certain platforms or listings may offer a refundable or flexible rate option at a higher price. If you book a non-refundable rate, the reservation generally cannot be cancelled, shortened, or modified outside the applicable cancellation window.

Refundable or flexible rates are offered at a premium. In exchange for that premium, guests may have the option to cancel or adjust their reservation with advance notice according to the terms shown at booking.

If your travel plans are uncertain, we recommend selecting a flexible rate when available or purchasing travel insurance.

📸 Photography, Content & Commercial Shoots We love that guests share their stays — and we're genuinely open to hosting shoots when the right approvals are in place.

Personal ******** Photos and videos for your own personal ******** are always welcome — no approval needed. Enjoy and tag us if you'd like.

Content creation If you're creating content professionally or commercially — YouTube videos, brand-affiliated social posts, sponsored content, or similar — please let us know in advance. This tier requires prior written notice and a modest content creation fee. Crew must remain within your approved guest count.

Commercial productions Full productions — including paid crew, lighting equipment, client work, editorial shoots, or advertising content — require advance written approval, a completed production inquiry form, a crew list, and a certificate of general liability insurance naming the property owner as additionally insured. A production fee applies and is determined by scope.

Shoots that arrive without prior approval, or misrepresent their nature at booking, may be turned away or result in reservation cancellation without refund. In all cases • Guest count rules apply — all crew and talent count toward your occupancy • The property must be left in its original condition; furniture and décor may not be permanently moved • Standard house rules remain in effect throughout the shoot • Any damage, excessive cleaning, or operational disruption is billable

To inquire about a shoot, request our Production Inquiry Form or reach out with details about your project. We're happy to work with you.

Cameras may also be present in building common areas such as hallways or shared laundry spaces. Noise-monitoring devices are in use to help us ensure quiet hours and prevent disruptions.
