We want you to enjoy your stay but feel it necessary to communicate the below items as not every guest arrives with the intention to be respectful and enjoy the “sharing community” experience. Please read through and ask any questions keeping in mind each “rule” has been created due to a previous guests behavior.

Most questions can be answered by checking our online WELCOME GUIDE. The link to the WELCOME GUIDE will be sent with your booking confirmation.
