Outdoors:

• Back patio is a shared space and the owner (Bryce) lives in the upstairs unit. You may see cross paths with him out there from time to time.


NOTE - the nest may not be the best fit for you if:
• You have difficulty with stairs. This is a garden level (basement) unit and as such is accessed by walking down a flight of stairs
• You're uncomfortable with the owner living upstairs
• You are very tall. The ceilings are generally 6’ 9” (205cm), with a support beam soffit running through the suite at 6’ 4” (193cm). The larger bed is a queen size sleigh bed measuring 6’ 8” (203cm) in length.
• You prefer a highly walkable neighborhood. We have a few restaurants, a brewery, and small shops within easy walking distance, but if you won't have a car for your stay, please plan to use public transit or Uber/Lyft. Getting around without a car isn't difficult, but having one would be easier.
• You plan to have a party or other event
• You plan to sneak in extra guests, pets, smoke indoors, or otherwise break any house rules. Disrespecting house rules will be dealt with strongly.

You'll primarily speak with Bryce, but may also hear from his co-hosts if he's unavailable.
Guest access
Street parking is free and very open (up to two cars).

Guests have their own indoor separate unit with its own kitchen, bath, living room, bedrooms, and separate entrance. None of the indoor spaces are shared.
Other things to note
• Bryce's cat also lives upstairs. The ductwork is for the whole building, so if you have extreme allergies to animals the nest may not be the best fit for you.
• TV is for streaming services only


HOUSE RULES:
• No smoking of any kind indoors. 420 and tobacco are allowed outside. Please dispose of butts and blunts in the red flower pot. Ask me for dispensary recommendations!
• No candles or other open flames allowed indoors.
• Absolutely no pets.
• No shoes are allowed on the carpet. Please remove shoes while inside the suite at the bottom of the stairs.
• No eating in bed.
• No firearms are allowed on the property.
• Quiet hours are between 10pm-8am in accordance with Denver law. We love our neighbors and want to avoid excessive outdoor noise at all times.
• All overnight guests must be included in the "number of guests" on your reservation. If you'd like to have friends/family stop by the suite to visit, please shoot us a quick message so we know they're expected on the property. Please plan for any visitors to leave by 12:00 AM / midnight.
• Towels and linens that are damaged or left with stains that cannot be washed out will be charged to the security deposit.
• Please tell me your favorite color in your first message so we know you’ve read the House Rules.
• While children are welcome at the nest, guests should be mindful that there are some safety hazards that could be an issue with some kids. These include but are not limited to:

1. Cleaning supplies and other chemicals are not locked or out of reach of children.
2. Some shelving is not secured to withstand climbing.
3. Kid friendly amenities like plastic dishes, kid size utensils, Crib/Pack n' Play, toys, etc are not available at this time, but are being gradually added in as demand permits - suggestions welcome!

Fines for breaking House Rules are as follows:
1. Any smoking indoors = a minimum fee of $350 and any additional charges needed to remove the smell of smoke up to the full cost of your deposit.
2. Non-disclosed pets = $200 per day
3. Non-disclosed guests/visitors = Any non-disclosed overnight guests will be charged at $100 per person per day. Non-disclosed visitors will be charged at $50 per person per incident. These measures are in place for liability and safety reasons by preventing parties/events and extra guests being snuck in.
4. Excessive cleaning will be charged an extra $100. In general, "leave it how you found it" and you'll be just fine.
5. Late check-out that has not been pre-arranged will be charged $50 per 15min increment over your allotted check-out time. The clock starts 15mins after check-out. This is to ensure we have enough time to fully clean and prepare the suite to offer our next guests a great stay.
