Respect for our home
This is our home, and we share it with you. Airbnb`s own rules ask every guest to `treat hosts, their homes and property … with respect` and to `leave the home in a state that doesn`t require excessive cleaning.` Airbnb`s ground rules also ask guests to `treat your home like their own.` Please do the same here. Guests who cause damage or need unexpected cleaning are expected to reimburse those costs.
Before checkout, please:
- Remove all perishable food from the refrigerator and put it in the outdoor trash bins (not inside), so it doesn`t attract insects.
- Don`t leave food, crumbs or garbage on counters, tables or floors.
- If you can, please load and run the dishwasher before you leave.
- Leave used beds unmade. You don`t need to strip beds, gather towels or start laundry.
- Turn off lights, the TV and the fireplace, and set the heat or AC back to where you found it.
- Close and lock all doors and windows.
Our cleaning team handles the full turnover clean.
