Please note that not every neighbor is happy about the New Sharing Economy. If we want them to understand the 21st century :-)) we should respect normal house rules like.... no party after 10pm, be quiet in the staircase/hallway, late check-in fee after 7pm, don’t ring at neighbours bell because you cannot find the key in your handbag, don’t throw things out of the window, eg. Just use your common sense. Although the apartment is on a very high standard and equipped like a serviced apartment - I am still a private host but not a Hotel with fully employed staff and a front desk. Me and my team are always happy to assist - but it can take time to follow your not urgent request (like 1 more blanquet). Communicate your arrival and departure times, and any changes. We want to be sure we are here and ready to greet you! Please don’t arrive early without prior notice. Do not smoke anywhere in the house. If you smoke outside, pick-up your trash. Children are welcome, but children of all ages count as ‘people’ and must be included in the guest count. Arriving at the home with more guests than you booked, including babies and small children, violates airbnb rules and our policy. If you arrive with more guests than you booked for, the reservation must be changed to reflect the proper number of guests before you will be allowed to check-in. Please book for the correct number of guests. Also passports must be shown for a copy upon arrival as security procedure. ---------------------------- Important Note: GuestLee based on the revenue-sharing economy is acting in the name and on behalf of the property owners.
