For anyone who intends to have a party, disturb the neighborhood, or in any other way violate our house rules, we want to make clear that:brbrWe have a zero-tolerance policy for this. We have noise sensors that alert us if decibel levels pass a certain threshold, and we have unfortunately had to ask guests to leave for violating this rule. Being a good neighbor of the city and the block we are on is very important to us.brbrWe have sensors to detect indoor smoking (nicotine and marijuana) and have an automatic $750 fine for violations, and have also had to ask guests to leave early for violating this rule.brbrParkingbr_____________brWe share our driveway with our upstairs neighbors, but our side fits up to two cars in tandem. Please note there’s no street parking on our street. If you need more parking space, there is extra free street parking available on a nearby street, which is only a few steps away!brbrEntrybr_____________brThe unit is fully accessible via a YALE smart lock at the front door. To enter, press “YALE,” enter the code we provide in your reservation check-in instructions, and press the CHECK to unlock.brbrWhen leaving, hold the YALE logo for a few seconds and the deadbolt will close. The locks will auto-lock after one minute if you forget to lock.brbrOur Availabilitybr_____________brWe are available whenever you need! Please feel free to reach out via the app or website you booked on with any specific questions. For any health emergencies, please dial 911. If a system malfunctions (i.e., hot water not functioning or a light has gone out), please send us a message on the app or website you booked on and we will be sure to address it in as short a time as possible (we usually respond within a few minutes). We also have handymen, electricians, plumbers, and landscapers with whom we work, so for any extenuating circumstances, we will happily bring them out to solve your issues post haste!brbrExtra Sleeping Arrangementsbr_____________brPullout Couch: Underneath the horizontal seat you will find two fabric handles.

Since we’re in a quiet neighborhood, we do ask that you follow a few easy rules:brbr- No parties & no overnight guests without prior approval. If you’re looking to host a small gathering, that’s probably ok but please let us know.br- Respectful, quiet volume, particularly after 9 pm.br- Please leave your shoes at the door.br- No pets please, as many of the guests we host have allergies.br- No smoking - also, don't discard your cigarettes in house trash cans. They get stinky.br- If you break or damage something, please let us know and arrange for its replacement or repair.br- Do not leave any food out that will attract uninvited pests. Our home is pest-free and we intend to keep it that way with your help.brbrOur Neighborhoodbr_____________brCentrally located, you will find lots within a short ride or walk, including Depot Town and its shops and restaurants, Eastern Michigan University, and beautiful Riverside Park!
