The Space This spacious third-floor apartment can be used as either a one-or two-bedroom layout and includes approximately 741 square feet of living space. The apartment includes an eat-in kitchen with a table for two and two counter stools, a compact full bathroom with a separate dressing area, and a large loft-like bedroom/living area. Sleeping accommodations include: *Adjustable Leesa Sapira king bed *Queen bed *Leesa Sapira twin daybed *All bed linens are bamboo and are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between guests. Please Know Before Booking This apartment occupies the third floor of a historic Victorian home and is accessed by stairs only outside and inside. There is no elevator. Because this is the upper floor of a Victorian home, some rooms feature architectural angles, arches, and rooflines that are part of the home's original character. Guests who prefer modern construction, completely uniform ceiling lines, or hotel-style architecture may prefer a different type of accommodation. The bathroom is fully functional but compact, as is common in older Victorian homes. The apartment is cooled by window air-conditioning units rather than central air. Window units provide effective cooling, but guests should expect some normal operating sound while they are running. If you need a soundless sleeping experience, this may not be the best choice for you. A Distinctive Garden Setting The property has a landscaped garden rather than a traditional front lawn. The garden includes a variety of established and native-style plantings and is intentionally different from a conventional grass yard. The garden supports the environment and ecosystem with love and intention to preserve our planet. Many guests and neighbors especially enjoy the garden and the character it brings to the property. If your preference is a traditional suburban lawn with open green grass, this property may not be the best match for you. Please Review the Photos The listing photos are intended to accurately represent the apartment, its furnishings, décor, architecture, and overall style. The apartment has a warm, collected, individual aesthetic rather than a minimalist or hotel-style design. Please review all photos carefully before booking to make sure the space suits your personal preferences. Additional Services Laundry and errand services may be available for an additional fee and must be arranged in advance. House Rules & Reservation Transparency *This is a family-friendly and business-traveler-friendly property located within a residential home and neighborhood. *Parties, events, unauthorized gatherings, casual meet-ups, and illegal activity are not permitted. *Because this is a private residential property, I may ask for basic information about the purpose of your stay before accepting a reservation. Guests should be comfortable providing a general reason for their visit. My goal is simple: to provide a peaceful, comfortable, well-cared-for stay for guests who are a good match for the property.

Good to know

Guest Access *The apartment has a private, key-code entrance located on the side of the house—not through the front porch and not through the backyard gates which are private areas. I do have two rescue dogs as noted in my profile and they are often in and out of the yard. If dog barking is something you find intolerable, this may not be a good choice for you. While I do not allow them to bark incessantly, they can be protective. *When you are facing the front of the house, the guest entrance is on the left side, facing the green house next door. Please note the stairs before booking *Because the apartment is located on the third floor, guests must be comfortable climbing stairs. *Approximately 15 outdoor steps lead to the private guest entrance. *Once inside, there are approximately 18 additional indoor steps, separated by landings, to reach the third-floor apartment. *There is no elevator. Please consider the stair access carefully if anyone in your group has mobility limitations, is traveling with very heavy luggage, or simply prefers accommodations without multiple flights of stairs. Motion-sensor lighting provides additional visibility and convenience when arriving or leaving after dark. With your private key code, you may come and go as you please. Guests may also have access to a Weber grill by request. If you'd like to grill during your stay, just let me know. Interaction with Guests I live on the premises and am available if you need assistance during your stay. You can reach me by phone or text, and I am generally just a knock on the door away. I also respect your privacy and will give you space to enjoy the apartment independently. If I am ever unavailable for a period of time, I will communicate that clearly and make appropriate arrangements so that assistance is still available if needed.

Some people have even requested weekly cleaning. If you rented ONE bedroom, you may only use 1 bedroom. Each apartment can be rented as a 1 or 2 bedroom. There are additional fees for the use of the other beds/bedrooms. If you use more than one room/bed, you will be charged additional fees for each night.

It is much appreciated by me and my cleaning manager. 😉

Kindly adhere to these guidelines

1. Do not leave dirty dishes, pots, and pans in the sink. They are to be cleaned and can be left to dry. 2. Coffee Users: Please clean the French Press if you use it or leave it in the sink if you don’t have time to clean it. Be sure to remove and throw away used coffee filters and Keurig cups when you are done. 3. Pots and pans are not to be left with oil stains and food in them. Unfortunately, I have had to replace them numerous times. There are cleaning supplies under the sink. 4. STOVE/MICROWAVE: If you splash grease or sauces, please wipe up right away otherwise it requires deeper cleaning, and those fees will be charged to you. 5. Clear the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry shelves of opened items that you brought. You may leave unopened items for future guests, or I can donate as well. If you believe something can be used, please let me know and I will be happy not to waste food. 6. BATHROOM: If you splash any human waste, or blood in the toilet, sink or shower, please use the Clorox cleaner and wipe it yourself for safety measures. It’s important to me to care about my cleaning manager’s health. Leave soiled towels and washcloths in the shower area. 7. BEDS: While we appreciate that some of you remake the bed, it is not necessary. Please know that nothing else gets used by another guest until is sanitized. 8. Take out excess garbage and recycle. Excess is spilling over the containers provided. All garbage and recyclables go under the stairs where you enter in their respective containers. 9. MOVING THINGS: If you moved furniture or items from one room to another, it is to be placed back where you found it. 10. Accidents happen. If one does, please tell me in advance. While some things are not replaceable, they are just things. I would prefer to know as opposed to being surprised. Cleaning up after children. It’s unfortunate I have to include the below rules, however, time after time, parents are allowing their children to make extreme messes that is left behind. 1. HIGHCHAIR: If you used the highchair, it is to be wiped down completely and not left with food all over it. 2. FINGERPRINTS: DO NOT allow your children to touch the television screen. If they are touching the glass shelves and mirrors, please be sure to clean up after them. 3. DO NOT allow your children to eat in the living room and bedrooms. Have them eat in the kitchen/dining area. Be sure to clean up any food messes, or crumb that your children leave behind. 4. RUGS: If your child spills something on the rugs, clean it up right away. There is carpet spot stain remover under the sink. 5. DO NOT allow your child to play with decorative items. They are not toys and they are not safe for children’s play. 6. Additional cleaning costs will incur for your children’s excessive messes.
