FAQ's
► Is luggage drop-off allowed for early arrivals or late departures?
- Yes! Luggage can be dropped off two hours before check-in (2:00pm) and left two hours after check-out (1:00pm) while the cleaners are there turning the space. Please be sure to leave it just inside the house by the front door and be sure to pick up your luggage before 1:00pm (any later will result in a $50/hr fee).

Check-in is at 4pm and checkout is at 11am. If you'd like to request an early check-in or late checkout, please message us a couple days before your trip as it will be subject to availability.
- Early check-in is at 12pm = $80
- Late checkout is at 3pm = $80
- For a *guaranteed* early check-in or late checkout, please reach out as we can offer a discounted daily rate to block the day before or after.
► Is the neighborhood walkable?- This is a gentrifying neighborhood. We recommend walking 5 mins to Hank's (very popular restaurant and coffee shop), or a quick bite at Little Deli (1 min walk).
