Other things to note
1. I use smart technology in my home: smart locks, smart thermostat, smart TVs, smart smoke detectors and many more. There is no physical key access or keypad access. Home must be accessed via the August mobile app.
2. Health and safety remains my top priority! A professional, thorough cleaning and sanitizing process is conducted between guests. Everything from the refrigerator to the remote controls and light switches are cleaned and sanitized. Due to this lengthy cleaning process, late check-outs or early check-ins are extremely difficult to accommodate.
3. Please remember that you're staying in a private residence in an upscale residential neighborhood with families and kids, not a hotel. Please treat my home with the same respect you would your home. If any problems arise, I will do my best to take action ASAP.
4. The entire city of Alexandria is a pet-friendly community and you may run into other neighbors’ pets during your stay while strolling about the neighborhood.
5. This is a 3 level home so one must climb stairs to reach the upper bedroom areas.
6. Absolutely no parties or events. This property is equipped with a NoiseAware noise sensor in the living room area. Please see house rules.
7. The free parking on the premises is free street parking with a guest parking permit, which allows you to park without time restrictions directly in front of the home. In addition, there's ample free street parking, in front of and around the home. If traveling with a car, you'll receive 1 Complimentary Guest Parking Pass - must request prior to arrival.
8. All guests staying for 4 weeks or longer must agree to a mid-stay clean once a month. If staying with a pet, must agree to a mid-stay clean every 14 days.
9. Please make yourself at home and enjoy your stay :)
