A Soft Place to Land
Overview
Guests have the basement to themselves, with exception of shared laundry room. I live on the property upstairs. * Shared entrance at the back door. * Perfect for quiet, clean, mature travellers. Kitchenette with microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, and mini-fridge / freezer are available for simple food prep. Coffee, tea, sweeteners, and powdered creamer provided. Shared laundry machines and detergent are available for guest use free of charge, as well as iron and ironing board. Guests are not allowed upstairs (host's living space) without explicit permission from the host. Payment: * 25% deposit is required to book * Remainder can be paid in advance (recommended) or at the door using PayPal or Square * Check-in after 4:00pm * Check-out by 11:00am. **Same-day bookings not guaranteed after 9pm** * Check-in instructions for self-entry provided on day of arrival, once full payment has been received Booking for family, friends, or others is prohibited unless you are staying with them. I reserve the right to turn away guests who don't match profile information. THINGS TO NOTE: * Please avoid use of artificial fragrances; I am intolerant, as are many of my regular guests. Please apply outside once you leave for the day (non-spray under-arm deodorant is fine). * There is a dropped ceiling in some areas--those over 6ft tall may need to mind their head in doorways * Not suitable for children under 5 * Not suitable for those with cat allergies
House Rules
Remember you are in someone's home. Show safety and respect for the space, myself, and others. This includes, but is not limited to: * No extra visitors or unregistered guests (except pick-up/drop-off, less than 15mins). * Booking for family, friends, or others is prohibited unless you are staying with them. I reserve the right to turn away guests who don't match profile information. * Pets are not allowed--this includes services animals; I am exempt from the regulations to accommodate service animals due to my own pets on the premises. * Avoid using artificial fragrances in the house (non-spray underarm deodorant is fine). * Responsible and legal substance use only. Disruptive behaviour due to intoxication of any kind may result in being asked to leave. * NO fireworks, weapons, or illicit activity on the property, including illegal media downloads (e.g. torrents). * I don't charge a cleaning fee. I expect guests to respect the space and leave it tidy upon check-out. * Guests are responsible for lost or missing items, or damaged/dirty property beyond expected use and wear, at discretion of the host. * Guests are not allowed upstairs (host's living space) without explicit permission, for host privacy and guest safety. * Conversely, I reserve the right to enter guest spaces if needed (e.g. to replenish amenities). I only conduct care tasks when the guest is not present, with as much discretion as possible. * Guests take full responsibility for any accidents, injuries or illnesses they may incur while on the premises and/or arising from use of the premises and its amenities. Guests recognize that they may personally purchase insurance to protect themselves in such events. *** Left something behind? I'm happy to mail it back! Guests are responsible for shipping costs, plus a $5 handling fee. Items not claimed after one week from check-out will be discarded or donated, at discretion of the host.
