Other Things to Note:
☆ Long-Term Stays ☆
Unlike most other hosts, corporate housing is our specialty. We prepare our homes not just to handle the needs of guests staying a few days, but for guests staying for months or years. Not only are our homes better equipped for your needs, our long-term rates are among the most competitive available. Guests staying longer than 31 days will not be required to pay sales tax (saving an additional 17%), and will receive huge discounts on add-on services like pets and parking.
☆Parking☆
The Central West End is a very popular neighborhood, and while free street parking is somewhat limited, there are usually sufficient spots available on McPherson Ave (right in front of the building) for our guests.
☆Pets☆
Bringing your furry friends? We're dog friendly! We offer guests the option to bring their pups along as an optional add-on service. Our pet fee is $15/night for the first dog and $5/night per dog after the first ($30 minimum). We allow up to 3 dogs with a weight limit of 60 lbs per pup. Add-on services are paid separately after booking, and we offer discounts for guests staying longer than a week!

Check-In: 4pm-9pm
Check-Out: 10am
If you have any issues getting in, or have any questions, we're available from 9a-9p, 7 days a week!
☆Rental Policy☆
Most of our guests are incredibly respectful and kind, but occasionally we have guests who treat our home, our cleaners, and/or our neighbors with disrespect. We require all guests to agree to our rental policy, to pay any associated fines in the event of violation of these policies, and to take responsibility for any damaged or missing items. We reserve the right to place an authorization hold for incidentals and fees, which will be released in full upon inspection of the property, provided that our policies were adhered to and there were no damages. We also reserve the right to perform guest identity verification and screening after booking. When you check out, you'll have the opportunity to review and accept our rental policy, which may be referred to as 'Booking Terms', 'Rental Agreement', 'Rental Policy', or by another name depending on channel you book through. Please familiarize yourself with our policy prior to booking.
☆Cancellations + Alterations ☆
Please consult the cancellation terms in the rental policy prior to booking to determine the amount of the refund, if any, that will be issued in the event of cancellation or alteration. We sometimes receive requests for additional refunds beyond those already offered. We understand that there are many valid reasons for needing to cancel or alter a reservation, so rather than acting as a kind of judge for the validity of each case (and in fairness to our guests who do not ask for special treatment), we refer guests to our cancellation policy to ensure it’s understood upfront and do not offer policy exceptions for any reason.
If there is some doubt as to whether you’ll potentially need to cancel the reservation, we recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your stay.
