HOUSE RULES
(Most of this is to cover me legally in case anyone gets stupid) GENERAL • Leave the space as you found it. • All guests and their visitors must follow these house rules. • Must be 25+ to book. Under 25? Have your parents contact me—I make exceptions, especially with good reviews. • Instant Book is for travelers, not locals • This is not a party house. SAFETY & CONDUCT • You're responsible for the safety of your kids and dogs, and for respecting neighbors. • No candles or incense indoors. Outdoor mosquito candles are okay—in the backyard only. No open flames (except a match or lighter). • Keep noise down, especially 11pm–8am. The stairs share a wall with my bedroom—please don’t stomp. • Drunken, disorderly conduct = immediate eviction with no refund. ENERGY & CLEANLINESS • Turn off lights, A/C, fans, and TVs when not in use. • Do not leave A/C running if gone for more than 2 hours—ask and I’ll cool the place down before you return. • Close windows if it’s raining or when you leave. • Take out trash and recycling to backyard bins (bags are under wastebasket liners—ask for more if needed). • Do not leave cups, cans, or cigarette butts on the front porch or backyard—it's a shared space. OCCUPANCY & VISITORS • Max overnight occupancy: 10 people, including children. Infants (under 2) must be added to the reservation. Port-a-crib available—bring your own baby linens. • Youth groups may exceed max with sleeping bags—ask first. • Max 6 visitors at a time unless pre-approved for events. • Overnight visitors are okay, but must be reported and will incur extra fees of $25 per person per night. • All guests are responsible for their visitors following house rules. FURNITURE & DAMAGE • Move furniture for comfort—return it before checkout. • Got little kids? Move breakables out of reach. Take photos to restore layout later. • Spills? Dog pee? Tell me ASAP. I’ve got a cleaner that might save you money. • Pet owners are liable for damage. • Everything is photographed—break it, lose it, steal it…you buy it. EMERGENCY EXIT • Kitchen back door = emergency only. Triggers automatic police dispatch. o False alarm = $300 fine. o Unauthorized entry into basement/home = criminal charges. PARKING & SECURITY • Free street parking, but watch for street-cleaning signs—they tow. • Park close to others to maximize space. Lock your car and don’t leave valuables. DOGS & FEES • Dogs: $20/night per dog (limit 2—exceptions possible, ask). Not included in online totals—pay cash upon arrival if not pre-arranged. • No fireworks—I love dogs too much. CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT • Early check-in allowed if ready—no fee. • Late check-in is fine—just coordinate this with me. • One towel set every 2 weeks: • Dyed hair? I’ve got special towels and pillowcases—just ask, or you'll be charged for stains. GRILLING • No pots or pans on the gas grill. I have the tools—just ask. CLEANLINESS & ISSUES • On arrival, if something isn’t clean—call or text me right away. I’ll fix it. Don’t leave it in a review. And please forgive me….it was an oversight. LEGAL STUFF • Breaking these rules = breach of rental agreement and may result in eviction, charges, or police involvement. • Booking through Airbnb, VRBO, Bookingdotcom, etc., confirms your agreement to these terms—no signature required.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi.

It was an okay experience. It was cozy but there are certainly things that can be improved. To begin with, there was no control of thermostat, controlling temperature is a necessity, i woke up with a sore throat because the night got too cold. The iron was not working, it was not heating up after 10 mins, i could touch it with my hand. If people have plans and need quick ironing it can be an issue. Lastly, the sofa is a bit uncomfortable. It felt like it will fall off. It would have been a great experience otherwise due to location, the cozy experience and how homey it felt.

We were a group of five and the apartment was comfortable hosting the group. Everything you need was there and Jamie, the host, was very helpful, friendly and always available. As a host ourselves we appreciate her attention to detail like checking on us during our stay. The only 'downside' to our booking were the high hostess fees and mandotory non-refundable insurance. Our stay was comfortable and we can recommend it to other guests.

Jamie's place provided us with everything & more! We couldn't be happier with our stay & we definitely plan on making this location our home away from home when we visit our northern family. We were thankful for a room to play with toys & books; our granddaughter kept us busy playing every time they visited us. Thank you Jamie! It was so nice meeting you & also meeting Jim. We felt safe & at home.
