GUEST INTERACTION
As I live in Los Angeles, California (USA), guests will primarily interact with one of my local house managers for any needs. If guests ever need to contact me directly, they are welcome to do so. I am 10 hours behind Patmos time.

If extra cleaning and/or late check-out (past 11am) is desired, a 48-hour notice is kindly requested via HomeAway (not with the local host). Approval is needed, and extra charges may apply.

OTHER NOTES
The home is ideally suited for 1-2 people to share the upstairs bedroom. It may also be appropriate for a small child (3rd person) to sleep on the downstairs sofa (Note: Since the house has a flight of stairs, it may not be appropriate for the elderly and/or those with recent injuries). When reserving the house, please indicate your bedding preference (e.g. 1 king bed or 2 single beds), as well as if a child will be using the sofa downstairs.

All guests will be welcomed to the island at the port by one of my local house managers and be taken directly to the house. The house manager will review basic essentials of the home with all guests and also be available in-person and/or via phone if there are questions and/or issues.

Price Promotions: Discounts with stays of 30 days or more.

Additional services (e.g. extra cleaning, late check-out past 11am, etc.): A 48-hour notice is kindly requested via HomeAway (not with the local host). Approval is required, and extra charges may apply.
