Additional rules

· Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.

· Parties:
We do NOT allow parties. If you have a special event or gathering request, we will consider each request on a case-by-case basis. If there is evidence that a non-approved party/gathering has been thrown, you will be assessed an extra cleaning fee up to $500.

· Overnight Guests: Please make sure you enter the accurate overnight guest count when booking. As you can imagine, when 1-2 people spend the night, the wear and tear on the house is far less than when additional guests are in the house. Although this property can sleep more than 2 guests, the base price is for 2 people. There is a $15 per night price increase for each additional guest staying in the house over 2 people (the exception is for infants under 12 months.) Putting in your accurate overnight guest numbers PRIOR to the booking will ensure you can see what the correct price will be for your stay.

· Visitors: We are perfectly fine with you having family or friends visit you during your stay. If you are planning to have more than 2 visitors who will NOT be spending the night, please let us know. At no point can there be more people at the property than the maximum house capacity listed.
(For example: if the house sleeps 8 and allows you to book for 8 people, then there can never be more than 8 people at the property – even if they are just visitors stopping by.) If this rule is not abided by, there will be a $40 fee per unapproved visitor.

· Fire/Smoke: It is a property rule that there are to be no fires, candles, smoking, or burning of any kind on the property. This does include not having any fires in the fireplace. We charge a $200 fee if there is any indication of any form of burning/smoke in the house. (This is for the safety of our guests and to protect the property.)

· Excessive mess: If the property is left excessively dirty there will be a $200 fee for extra cleaning. - Late check-out fee: Late check-outs are allowed only if explicitly approved. If approved prior to arrival you can check out as late as 11:00 a.m. with no charge. There is a $25 charge per hour if we extend anytime beyond 11:00 a.m. and the latest we can let someone checkout is 1:00 p.m. For day of late check-out requests, there is a $35 per hour charge. If not approved, there will be a $50 charge for a 30-minute late check-out. If the guest has not left the property after 2 hours they will be charged for a full additional day. This does not allow the guest to stay an additional night; it's a penalty fee. This extra day fee is without discounts. We will always go above and beyond for you. That said, if you have a complaint about any aspect of the property (amenities, cleanliness, etc.) upon sharing the complaint us or listing platform you are authorizing us to come into the property to fix it.

· There is a $100 fine for each unapproved pet per day.

· Any house rules broken is grounds for immediate removal from the property without refund. This rental includes 3 apartments. If items are moved from one unit to another (silverware, furniture, etc.) there will be a $100 fee.

Security cameras are located at the front door and back door of the building. Two ring cameras owned by us and four owned by the building owner. Recording at all times for safety.

Pleasant overnight stay
Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The location was convenient for walking to restaurants. It wasn't the most quiet environment, but it IS downtown and the noise died down eventually. The home itself was spacious and looks exactly like the pictures posted. The property manager was friendly, and for the most part was prompt with responses.

Great location
Clean and great location. Well appointed. We were just a few blocks from DPAC and numerous bars and restaurants. Only drawback was the train blowing its whistle at 5 AM.

Super clean
Overall, it was an amazing property. On weekends, it can be a little busy and upstairs condo made a little more noise than we cared for but not reflective of this owners property. We would definitely stay again and again and again.

Will definitely stay again
We were moving my daughter in for grad school and needed a place to stay overnight. The property was spacious and very clean. I wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the space and location. We will definitely stay there when we come for a longer visit in the future. The host was super responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Blake

Host profile image
Hey there, future guests! I'm Blake, and I hail from the beautiful state of North Carolina. I'm a total travel junkie and a foodie at heart. If I'm not jet-setting to a new location, you'll probably find me cooking up a storm in my kitchen or spending quality time with my family. Hosting is more than just a side gig for me; it's a way to share my love for travel, food, and community with you. I can't wait to help you make some unforgettable memories!

Why they chose this property

So, why this neighborhood, you ask? Well, it's an absolute gem! We've got a little bit of everything here: fantastic restaurants, charming shops, and some great parks for a morning jog or an evening stroll. But what I enjoy the most is the sense of community. Neighbors look out for each other, and local businesses give this area a warm, inviting vibe. It's the kind of place where you'll feel like a local in no time.

What makes this property unique

As for my property, what sets it apart is its unique blend of comfort and style. I've taken the time to handpick each piece of furniture and decor to create a cozy yet chic environment. But it's not just about the looks! Plus, I'm always available to help you out with any travel tips or dinner suggestions. Trust me; you won't want to leave!

Hope to host you soon! 😊
