House Rules We really want you to have a great experience staying with us. Please read these rules before booking, so that you'll know if our place is a good fit for you.

Rule #1 - Always communicate through Airbnb messages. We have a small team that manages several listings, so our team will be able to respond to the Airbnb messages faster than calling or texting us outside of the Airbnb platform.

Rule #2 - Help us keep the property safe and comfortable. If a battery in a smoke detector is beeping, please tell us! If we run out of coffee or cooking oil in the kitchen, please tell us! Even if it's something outside of our control, like the neighbors being too loud, we want to know about that.

Rule #3 - No Smoking. No smoking, lighting candles, or burning incense or anything else with a strong smell in the Airbnb. If you break this rule, we will ask you to pay a $200 fine, and we may ask you to vacate the property immediately. If you do smoke, please make an effort to be 20 feet away from any doors or open windows.

Rule #4 - Number of Guests. Please check that the number of guests on your reservation is correct before booking. No additional guests or visitors are permitted on the property beyond the number of guests on your reservation. Please ask us before booking if you would like to have visitors (something like a small dinner party is fine with us!). If you bring additional guests that are not on the reservation without our written approval, you agree to pay the additional guest fee of $20 per night per person.

Rule #5 – Trash & Recycling - for guests staying 7 nights or longer, you will need to put your trash & recycling in the larger bins outside, and then wheel the bins out to the curb on trash collection day.

Rule #6 – Kitchen. Use whatever you want… but wash whatever you use! You may leave dishes in the dishwasher – just start it before you leave.

Rule #7 - Booking requirements. To minimize the risk of parties, we have a policy not to host anyone who already lives in the Columbus area. If you acknowledge in your messages to us that you have read this, and you provide your reason for booking, we will consider making an exception.

Rule #8 - Pet Fees. One-time additional fee of $100 for up to two medium dogs or two cats. Large dogs or other animals may require an additional fee - please inquire. Pet fees will be collected through the Airbnb Resolution Center and are due within 24 hours of booking. This pet fee is non-refundable.

Notes:

Changes and Alterations: The cancellation policy that is in place at the time of booking will also apply to requests to move dates or shorten stays (we may not issue refunds for short-notice changes unless we have reasonable time to re-rent those dates).

Long Stay Discounts: To receive weekly and monthly discounts, guests must book the full term (7 nights or 28 nights) at the time of the initial booking. Dates that are added to existing stays will be charged at the published rate at the time of the alteration request (e.g. a 6-night stay that is later extended to 7 nights will not be eligible for the weekly discount). Stays that are booked with weekly or monthly discounts and then later shortened will be recalculated without the discount.
