HOUSE RULES Please make sure that you go through the house rules prior to booking. 

• PETS: Pets (dogs/cats) are allowed for an extra pet fee of $100 per pet with a combined pet weight limit of 30lbs and up to 2 pets only. The unauthorized bringing of pets will have a penalty of $300 which will go towards the deep cleaning of the property.

• CHECK-IN: Check-in time is after 4PM. Early check-in requests are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. If we're able to accommodate an early check-in, there's an early check-in fee of $50 starting at 1 pm . Please check the availability of early check-in prior to booking.

• CHECK-OUT: Check-out time is before 11 AM. We do not allow late check-out as we schedule cleaning ahead of time. Any unauthorized late check-out will result in a charge of $50 for every 30 minutes.

• SMOKING: We do not allow smoking inside the property or in outdoor spaces including the balcony, backyard, and terrace (if applicable). There is a smoking fine of $300. 

• NOISE: Please observe quiet hours after 9PM. Please be mindful of the neighbors in the building. If the police are summoned due to noise complaints, this warrants a possible eviction with no refund.

• DAMAGES & LOSS: We would truly appreciate it if you could treat our home like yours. You will be responsible for any damages or loss to the property which will be deducted from your security deposit. Please advise us of any damage or loss immediately upon discovery.

• UNAUTHORIZED GUESTS: Please make sure to book the property for the correct number of guests. Parties, events, or any kind of gathering are prohibited. Given the COVID-19 situation, no other guests outside the reservation are allowed on the property.

• PHOTOSHOOT/MUSIC VIDEOS: This property is for residential use only and not for commercial purposes without the written permission of the owner. Please contact us directly for booking of events. 

• LOST AND FOUND: Please note that all shipping costs are the traveler’s responsibility. There is a minimum $25 shipping charge plus a $50 service fee. As our cleaning team manages multiple properties daily, we cannot guarantee a specific timeframe for locating or shipping returned items. We will make every reasonable effort to locate lost belongings after check-out; however, we are not liable for items left behind. Unclaimed items will be donated if not claimed within 14 days of check-out. • MAILS & PACKAGES: We do not allow any mail deliveries or packages during your stay.

• PRE-CHECK IN FORM: Guests will be required to fill out a pre check-in form which will require additional documents to validate age and card used for the reservation prior to arrival. Guests booked through Airbnb are not required to fill out the pre-check-in form.

• RENTAL AGREEMENT: Guests will be required to sign a rental agreement prior to arrival.

• SECURITY DEPOSIT: Reservations made through Airbnb and Hopper are not required to place a security deposit. Reservations made through other channels (ie Direct Booking, VRBO, Booking, Misterbnb, Whimstay, etc) is required a security deposit.

• ADDITIONAL NOTES ABOUT THE HOME:

• Location: The apartment is located on the 1st floor with no elevator access.

• Fireplace: The fireplace in the apartment is for decorative purposes only and is non-functional.

• Noise: We would like to kindly remind you that in the evening, there may be some noise originating from the neighborhood considering the central location of the home.

• New York City Pests: Please be advised that it's very normal/common to see mice/rats in the streets of New York. Due to the continuing increase of the mice/rats problem in New York, (although rare to see one inside our apartment) we've also increased our efforts to help control them coming inside. Do note, we have a bi-monthly exterminator who visits the apartment, which means this could happen during your stay.

• Visits and Unit Access: We will always notify in advanced should there be a need to access the unit and no one will ever enter without your approval. An exception is if there are fire or life-threatening situations in the building.
