🏡 House Policies

👟 Shoes & Cleanliness

• Remove shoes inside the apartment.
• If shoes are wet or dirty, take them off at the bottom of the stairs to prevent mud, water, or bugs from entering the home.
• Do not place luggage on bedding.
• Do not leave food out (on counters, pots, or pans), as it can attract rodents and cause unpleasant smells.

• No hot items or staining substances on countertops.
• Maintain a clean environment inside the apartment.
• Do not clean the apartment or linens with chemical-based cleaners or fragrances (we aim for a chemical-free environment).

🚽 Plumbing & Bathrooms

• Plumbing is sensitive — do not flush paper towels, feminine products, large amounts of hair, or anything other than toilet paper.
