NOTE AND DISCLAIMER TO GUESTS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
------------------------------------------------
About Your Stay
As a friendly reminder, this is not a full-service hotel or concierge.
We are a small family-run host sharing our home in this beautiful neighborhood with guests from around the world. We sincerely strive to provide a 5-star experience for everyone who chooses to stay with us.
Please review the House Rules in detail and understand that while we do our best to assist, we may not be able to accommodate additional service requests given our limited resources.
💬 Pricing Policy
Our rates are thoughtfully set to reflect the quality, location, and value of the home for the selected period.
We’re unable to offer discounts beyond what's shown in the listing already, and inquiries requesting price adjustments will be respectfully declined.
We kindly ask guests to consider their travel plans carefully and book when the pricing and dates align with their expectations.
🚭 NO Smoking & Vaping Policy
Smoking, vaping, or the use of any substances is strictly prohibited within 25 feet of the property. This includes inside the apartment, within the building, and anywhere near the premises.
Please be respectful of the home, neighbors, and the surrounding environment. If any evidence or odor of smoking or vaping is detected after checkout, a professional cleaning and odor remediation fee of at least $1,000 per occurrence will be charged to cover restoration costs. The exact amount may vary depending on severity.
🧳1) LUGGAGE
Guests are genuinely encouraged to bring standard carry-on luggage or duffel bags as larger suitcases may not easily fit through the doors / stairwells.
🚗2) PARKING
• On-site parking is not available; street parking is limited and mainly for residents (requires city parking permit)
• Paid garage parking options are available within minutes for ~$25-30 per day (e.g., Newport Centre / 95 Columbus / 66 Columbus / 160 Morgan / 201 Morgan / Newport Centre)
• City parking rules are strictly enforced by the City; guests are encouraged to not drive
• Public transit is recommended for guests traveling between NYC / JC
🔥3) HEAT
Temperature is controlled by a thermostat within the apartment. The heating system is hot water baseboard (HWBB). When turned on, particularly at higher temperatures over time, there may occasionally be water or piping sounds from the building water heater (likely due to thermal expansion and contractions). If preferred, some guests may prefer to turn on the heat before going to bed and not overnight. This is not uncommon for HWBB systems in general or for modernized brick-row / brownstone style homes from over a century old.
👥4) REGISTERED & PERMITTED GUESTS ONLY
The guest booking the property MUST be over the age of 25 and is considered the "Primary Transient Occupant". The Primary Transient Occupant must be present and part of the group or party of person(s) occupying the apartment during the term of the booking. No one under the age of 18 shall be permitted on the premises of the apartment, unit, building or property UNLESS this person is accompanied by this person's legal guardian at all times. No outside visitors / guests at any time. Only registered and permitted guests are allowed up to the maximum limit of 6 person(s). No exceptions.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
