Check-out instructions

We try to make it easy for our guests! Time permitting, trash goes in the trash bins and if you could start the dishwasher and a load of towels, this helps our cleaning team a lot.
Please lock all doors, including the sliding glass doors.
The cleaners typically arrive at noon and they handle the laundry/bedding and all other cleaning steps.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

About the host
Hosted by Amanda
I am an experienced host and have enjoyed welcoming guests from around the world for more than 10 years! I have traveled extensively and lived abroad, but California is my home!
Along with my co-hosts, Kate & Ted, we do everything we can to personalize the service for you, as we firmly believe that staying in someone's home in a nice neighborhood beats a hotel hands-down ;) You can count on a well-stocked home with coffee and all the essentials to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you arrive.
In addition to hosting this property, I manage a few friends' homes. I strive to offer the best possible experience across all our properties.
