Hello GUEST
We expect you around 5-6 PM but if this is not correct and you come later , let us know before your arrival. We live next door with our 12 year old who goes to sleep at 8:30 PM , which means we will be upstairs and won't hear any knocking . We live on N.6th Street near the Princess St. intersection and the house is colored pale rose. Your entrance is on the left . Please call us 30 minutes before arrival so that we can arrange to meet you and give you the keys .The Doorknob in front is historic and decorative, please use Metal handle to push door open and be gentle with the old doors.
Now about the place.....You have a functioning kitchen with glasses and cups for all beverages, a coffee machine with filters and grinder plus toaster and a working oven . Recycling and trash pickup is early on Monday morning so we will let you know when we pull all the receptacles to the street . Let us know if you need another bag .Please put all TRASH out on sunday evening
Linens and towels are all there with soap but you will need Shampoo if ours is wrong for you, shower gel and more toilet paper.
The 2 toilets use Eco-Flush so please hold handle 3 seconds when you flush.
