Why Charge a Cleaning Fee?

After each guest checks out, we send professional cleaners to spruce up the place,

wash the beddings, and get everything ready for the next guest. The cleaning fee

goes to the cleaners. It's part of our commitment to making our place comfortable

and neat for guests.

Do you allow parties?

Our neighborhood is a peaceful one. While we understand that sometimes our guests

may come as a group or have visitors, excessive noise could prompt our neighbors to

call the police, and if that happens, it's highly likely that you will be removed from the house.

It's for this reason that we don't allow parties at our place.

Do you allow pets?

Sadly, no. Sorry. We have a strict no-pet policy because we host a wide variety of

guests some of whom may have medical-related sensitivity to pets.
