Other Things to Note:
✓✓Other Things to Note✓✓
✓ Long-Term Stays
Unlike most other hosts, corporate housing is our specialty. We prepare our homes not just to handle the needs of guests staying a few days, but for guests staying for months or years. Not only are our homes better equipped for your needs, our long-term rates are among the most competitive available. Guests staying longer than 31 days will not be required to pay sales tax (saving an additional 17%), and will receive huge discounts on add-on services like pets and parking.
✓Gated Parking Available
The Central West End is a very popular neighborhood, and parking is limited. Parking is metered on the street, and there are paid lots and garages for overnight parking.
We wanted to provide parking for guests bringing a car while not inflating the nightly rate for those who wouldn't need parking, so we've purchased an on-site gated parking space, and rent the space for $14/night as a convenient option for those who need it. Please include in your greeting message whether you'll be needing parking.
Staying long-term? We offer discounts for guests staying longer than a week!
✓ Pets
Bringing your furry friends? We're dog friendly! Our pet fee is $15/night for the first dog and $5/night per dog after the first ($30 minimum). We allow up to 3 dogs with a weight limit of 60lbs. Pet fees are paid separately after booking, and we have long-term stay discounts.
✓ House Rules
Most of our guests are incredibly respectful and kind, but occasionally we have guests who treat our home, our cleaners, and/or our neighbors with disrespect. We require all guests to agree to a simple list of reasonable house rules and to pay any associated fines in the event of violation of these rules. Please familiarize yourself with these rules by scrolling down to "Things to Know" and clicking "Show All" under "House Rules".
✓ Cancellations+Alterations
For short-term bookings we issue a full refund for cancellations received within 48h of booking as long as the check-in date is at least 14 nights out, and a 50% refund for cancellations received within 48h of booking if the check-in date is at least 7 nights out.
For long-term bookings (28+ nights), if you cancelled before the check-in date, you would pay for the 1st 30 days of the booking, and if after, you would pay for the subsequent 30 days from your new check-out date.
The same policies also apply to alterations, with the amount of the refund being applied to the new dates. If the alteration just extends an existing reservation while retaining the original dates, there are no cancellation fees – you just pay for the nights you’re adding
We sometimes receive requests for additional refunds beyond those already offered. We understand that there are many valid reasons for needing to cancel or alter a reservation, so rather than acting as a kind of judge for the validity of each case (and in fairness to our guests who do not ask for special treatment) we highlight and clearly explain the terms of our cancellation policy here to make sure it’s understood upfront and do not offer policy exceptions for any reason.
