Summary:
If you’re looking for a clean, cozy apt in the heart of an up & coming historic district then this is the spot for you! You’ll be steps from restaurants, a bakery, an amazing coffee shop, & 3 breweries.

Historic Springfield is filled with gorgeous historic homes, lush parks, and new development, but its location is not ideal for travelers seeking a fully developed neighborhood.

Of note, this apt is adjacent to a busy street so you WILL experience some street noise while staying here!

The Space:
Guests have access to the entire 2 BR / 1 BA apartment featuring hardwood floors in every room except the kitchen and bathroom.

The master bedroom features a full-sized bed. It also has an average-sized dresser which is great for longer term guests.

Additionally, there is a night stand and a closet.

The 2nd bedroom features a set of bunk beds, each with a memory foam/spring hybrid mattress, a large dresser, and a closet.

The living room includes a sleeper sofa with a cot that you pull out and pop up to form a full-sized bed when combined with the ottoman, a wall-mounted Smart TV (with local channels, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu), a desk, and a kitchen table.

The kitchen is stocked with utensils, a microwave, coffee pot, toaster oven, refrigerator/freezer, oven/range, cooking utensils/cutlery and plates.

The bathroom is supplied with towels, and shower items (soap, shampoo, conditioner).

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire apartment and do not share the apartment itself with anyone.

Other Things to Note:
PLEASE CONTACT US PRIOR TO BOOKING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW RENTAL AGREEMENT.

We charge for additional guests above a fixed amount. This amount and additional charge varies by unit type, size, and configuration. If you input the correct guest count when you make your reservation the amount the booking site indicated as the total cost will not change (due to guest count). We ask for confirmation of guest count after you complete your booking. If you need to increase your guest count after booking confirmation due to a booking error, this could result in a price increase. Finally, we verify guest count via external cameras located on our properties. In the event that we notice a guest count at the property that is higher than reported, we reserve the right to ask for additional guest fees that would be double the amount we would have charged prior to check-in.

Kindly refer to the following guidelines regarding fees for extra guests:
Studio & 1 BR units - $25 per guest/night after 2 guests (i.e. 3 guests would be $25/night extra and 4 guests would be $50/night extra)
2 BR units - $30 per guest/night after 4 guests (i.e. 5 guests would be $30/night extra and 6 guests would be $60/night extra)
3 BR unit - $35 per guest/night after 6 guests (i.e. 7 guests would be $35/night extra and 8 guests would be $70/night extra)
4 BR units - $40 per guest/night after 8 guests (i.e. 9 guests would be $40/night extra and 10 guests would be $80/night extra)
5 BR+ units - $45 per guest/night after 10 guests (i.e. 11 guests would be $45/night extra and 12 guests would be $90/night extra)

This apartment is directly adjacent to Main St, a major thoroughfare, so if you are sensitive to street noise this apartment may not be a good fit for you. If this is the case, please bring ear plugs with you!

I am pet friendly and charge $20 per night per pet for short term stays. For longer stays, I charge $100 per week and $200 per month per pet. If you are booking with me and are bringing a pet please let me know ahead of time! This fee is non-negotiable for any animal.

This fee is not included in the accommodation fare rate. We will send a request for the additional funds once the number of pets is confirmed after booking.

All guests have access to the common areas of the property (front porch, laundry room, backyard).
If another set of guests, our cleaners, or a property notices that there is guest property or trash left out, this will be removed. If we can’t distinguish property from trash, there is a possibility it will be thrown out.
If this continues (I.e. you use shared space as personal space and/or throw what appears to be trash there), we reserve the right to ask you to check out early / move to another listing at your cost.

The building has 2 brand new (as of Aug 2018) coin-operated washers and 2 brand new (as of Aug 2018) coin-operated dryers in a laundry room on the bottom floor of the building. Please keep this in mind when budgeting for your stay, particularly for longer term guests.

A Smart TV an HDTV antenna is available but there is NO CABLE.

If you want to watch sports - String Sports Brewery (directly across the street from you) and Crispy's (less than a block down the street from you) is great for watching a game while grabbing a delicious pizza!

Also, Saturday check-ins and check-outs are (generally) not allowed unless you are booking a stay that is >7 days, with the exception of some specific weekends (FL-GA and TPC Sawgrass weekends are a few examples). I may allow an exception to this policy (depending on the specific weekend and season) but reserve the right not to do so or to ask you to modify of cancel a reservation starting or ending on a Saturday.

There is a single parking spot available to guests in the gated area directly behind the building. There is ample free street parking available to guests with more than one car directly in front and all around the building (particularly in the block just south of the building).

The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming I can offer this at all (I often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):

1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $100
1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $200
2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $300
3+ hr early arrival/late departure: $100/hr or the cost of an additional night’s stay, whichever is more

These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes my cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which I hold them to.

We have a Nest thermostat in place in this apartment and do limit temperatures to the following ranges to reduce our environmental impact:

Summer - 70 to 85 degrees F
Winter - 60 to 75 degrees F

If this is outside of your comfort zone then this apartment may not be a good fit for you.

***Finally, smoking is strictly forbidden anywhere on the property - the apartment, atrium and building common areas, or rear parking lot***

***If I find cigar/cigarette butts of any kind on the property or evidence of smoking (ash on flat surfaces, empty cigarette packs, etc.) I will assess a $500 cleaning fee in addition to the regular cleaning fee***

For guests requiring a pack n play, high chair, or any other non-standard item, please submit your request at least 7 days before check-in to ensure availability. If the request is made less than 7 days prior to check-in, we will make every effort to accommodate it, but cannot guarantee availability.

Interaction with Guests:
If in town I will be happy to assist in person if needs be.
