🌳Our lawn service provider typically comes by to mow on Mondays or Tuesdays (weather permitting—if it rains, the service is rescheduled to the next dry day). We would also appreciate it if guests could park in front of the house during these days, if possible.
🫙Trash pickup in our area is on Thursdays. No action needed from guests (FYI the truck can come as early as 6 AM so if you happen to hear a little noise early Thursday morning, that’s just the garbage truck stopping by).
🛏️ We provide high density orthopedic-style firm mattresses
🎥We have 4 actively recording external cameras for everyone’s safety (1 in the Driveway and 1 for each outside door), as well as a noise decibel monitoring device in the property. Please refer to Safety & Property>Safety Devices found at the bottom of the listing page for details.
🚂 The home is located near a train track, and trains pass by between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. We provide earplugs for your comfort, but personally, we hardly notice any noise while inside the house.
