A Note on Expectations:
We like to be upfront so you know exactly what to expect while enjoying the comfort, convenience, and warm welcome of GuestReady Essential.
The house is on a quiet residential street, providing a calm environment, but typical neighbourhood sounds may be heard.
As mentioned, the beds are double and queen sized respectively, so it might not be very comfortable for anyone with a bigger built.
Using our guest permit system, only one parking space is available for guests (one permit provided per day).
We look forward to welcoming you for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Chatham.
Guests will have access to the entire home!
