Guest access

The apartment is the entire SECOND floor. It is completely private and guests for this unit have exclusive access to the front porch as well. There is shared access to the Laundry area in the basement. The back entrance and stairwell are shared space with the downstairs guests/tenants and is separated from the apartment by a locked door. From inside the back door, the door to the apartment is up a flight of stairs and to the right on the second floor landing. Since the back door is closest to the parking area, it is used when we enter and leave the house. It's fine to use the front door for things like package and uber eats deliveries.

Other details

There is ONE free parking space in the open garage (for small to mid-size vehicles only) as well as plenty of free street parking available. The garage door stays open so the space is used like a car port. The house is a duplex, so please do not block any part of the parking area or the driveway at any time. If you have a large vehicle (bigger than an SUV), you may need to park on the street.

Interaction with guests

I'm happy to say hello and welcome you personally to my home OR to leave you alone to check-in and enjoy the space on your own. I'll follow your lead. Either way, feel free to reach out before, during or even after your stay if you need anything. I will respond as quickly as I’m able between the hours of 8am and 10pm. However, I will do my best to reply quickly to anything urgent regardless.
