PLEASE NOTE:

> Please note that the main house up front does have a friendly pup Pablo onsite, and he sometimes shows up in the yard and could come say hi! If you dislike dogs, please take note!

> We do not offer cooking condiments but you are welcome to buy anything you need from a nearby grocery store.

> You are welcome to use our grill but have to procure your own gas tank!

> We utilize the triple sheet methods for all our beds, which means we do not usually use fitted sheets or duvet covers. This ensures all your linens are fresh and clean (you might be surprised to know that without the triple sheet system, some hotels/hostels actually do not change their duvet covers!)

> Please note that Seattle is fairly temperate even in summer so we may not have portable AC set up by default, but we will provide and set up portable AC upon request on warmer days.

> The basic pricing per night is for 2 guests. Each additional guest requires $15 per person per night. The additional guest fee goes toward accommodation necessities such as utilities, supplies, and tears and wears on the property. VRBO should automatically calculate the accurate nightly pricing for you according to the number of guests inputted under "guests".

> Pets are welcome! Please note that we charge $150/pet per stay.

> Our house is located on a lush backyard with lots of greenery. During rainy seasons, you may find some ants and insects seeking shelter from the rain! Our properties have routine pest control services but please take note of this as a minor FYI for what we cannot control.
