A Few Things Guests Appreciate:
1. No checkout chore list. I charge a cleaning fee so my cleaners are paid a real living wage. You wonât be asked to strip beds, start laundry, or scrub anything on your way out.
2. No overwhelming house rules. I expect the home to be treated with respect, but trust my guests and keep things straightforward.
3. A responsive, hands-on host. I care deeply about the guest experience and am available if anything comes up during your stay.
