Rest in Comfort _____________ Sink into soft, plush memory foam mattresses, hypoallergenic down alternative microfiber comforters, crisp clean linens, and extra blankets for the winter in each of our bedrooms. Stay rested with blackout drapes in each bedroom. Sleeping Arrangements _____________ In addition to four queen beds, we have a queen size air mattress as well as two super-comfy living room couches! Plenty of extra linens and pillows are available to ensure groups of any size have a comfortable, restful stay. Highlights _____________ - In-suite laundry - Central air conditioning - Inspired, tasteful interior design - 1,200 MBPS WiFi (Ethernet-accessible) - Cozy, bright living and entertaining room - Fully-equipped kitchen & outdoor gas grill - Smart TVs to connect to Netflix & your other favorite apps (in all bedrooms too!) - Work-From-Home optimized with a standing desk, comfy desk chair, and dual-monitor setup w/ keyboard, mouse, and USB-C dock Expectations _____________ We always need to make sure we're respecting the neighborhood. We have noise sensors that alert us if decibel levels pass a certain threshold, and we have unfortunately had to ask guests to leave for violating this rule. Being a good neighbor of the city and the block we are on is very important to us. Parking _____________ We have a garage that fits one car, with room for two to three additional cars in our driveway. We are located on a quiet street which also allows street parking so if you need additional parking, there's plenty! Entry _____________ The house is fully accessible via a YALE smart lock at the front door and on the door from the garage to the house. To access the house, enter the code we provide in your reservation check-in instructions, and press the CHECK to unlock. When leaving, enter that same code followed by the CHECK mark and the deadbolt will close. The locks will also auto-lock after one minute if you forget to lock. Extra Sleeping Arrangements _____________ Air Mattress: Designed for camping, our air mattress is extra-sturdy and provides a wonderful sleeping space for two. To inflate, please plug in the pump and wait for it to charge. Once the light on it is solid (not blinking), unplug the pump, insert the end into the air mattress, and flip the switch to inflate. House Rules _____________ We love hosting folks, so we want to be as respectful as possible to our wonderful neighbors. Since we’re in a quiet neighborhood, we do ask that you follow a few easy rules: - No parties & no overnight guests without prior approval. If you’re looking to host a small gathering, that’s probably ok but please let us know. - Respectful, quiet volume, particularly in the evening - No pets please, as many of the guests we host have allergies. - No smoking - also, don't discard your cigarettes in house trash cans. They get stinky. - If you break or damage something, please let us know and arrange for its replacement or repair. - Do not leave any food out that will attract uninvited pests. Our home is pest-free and we intend to keep it that way with your help. Getting Around _____________ Our house is a quick 7-minute (0.3 mile) walk from the bus stop at Vinsetta Blvd & N Main St which allows access to bus routes all throughout SE Michigan via the State Fair Transit Center! In addition, UBERs and LYFTs run consistently and are quick, cheap, and accessible options to get anywhere in the area! Message us to schedule a quick call if you have any issues!
