⚠️ Safety, Accessibility Notes, & House Rules
--Homes are NOT baby-proofed (no outlet covers, no cabinet locks, furniture is not secured to walls, no cribs provided, etc). Guests are responsible for their safety.
--No pets, parties, or events – we value the relationship with our neighbors, and strive to keep the home in top condition
--Max occupancy: 6 guests
--Steep stairs to the second floor – historic home built in the late 1800s (not ideal for guests with mobility issues)
--Potential for noise from lower units (their ceilings = your floor)


Important Location Notes
--Neighborhood is eclectic & transitional – safe but mixed; police station less than 1 mile away
--Train tracks a few blocks away (you may hear whistles; white noise machines provided for light sleepers)

If you’re sensitive to noise or smoke odors, one of our other Sunshine House units (Wild Woodlands or Scenic Skies) may be a better fit.
