Other Things to Note:
★ SHARED SPACE ★
You are renting a 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom unit that is part of a larger estate (3 separate units). You have your own private entrance and unit, but the common spaces (patio, grill, pool, etc) are shared amongst all guests. We ask that you are respectful of other guests staying at the property. Please respect quiet hours around the pool from 9pm - 8am.

★ OLD NORTHWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ★
Our villa is located in Old Northwood which is home to 320 historic homes. The Old Northwood neighborhood has added security measures which features cameras on nearly every corner and licenses plate readers at entrances to the neighborhood. We've never had any safety issues at our property but the neighborhood ~15 blocks / ~1 mile north (towards Riviera Beach) is still changing and a bit rougher.

★ OLD HOUSE ★
The home was built in 1928 (almost 100 years old!). Since this is historic home and it definitely has some charm. Many of the features are original to the home (pocket doors, hardwood floors, etc.) The home was recently renovated but you'll still hear some creaks, see some scuff marks or occasionally get a historic house smell. None of these should materially impact your stay, but we want to make sure you're aware.

★ NEIGHBORING PROPERTY★
The property next to us is a small multifamily property that is currently undergoing renovation. Most of the loud noise is behind us (exterior/structural items) you might occasionally hear some noise from time to time. Unfortunately the contractors tend to litter in the alleyway next to the property. We do our best to keep it clean.

★ BBQ GAS GRILL★
The property has a gas grill for guest use. Grill will be used at your own risk and you must assume liability. The grill must be cleaned after every use and before check out. Propane tank must be turned off after use. Guests be charged an additional cleanup fee if the grill is not cleaned. We can't guarantee the fullness of the propane tank. If you need to replace it, please send us a copy of your receipt and we're happy to reimburse you.

★ POOL ★
The unit opens up directly to the patio pool deck. Pool will be used at your own risk and you must assume liability. No diving is allowed and no life guards are present. There is not a child safety gate or net around the pool- children are to be supervised at all times and not left unattended in the backyard.

★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★
Heath, safety, and well-being of our guests are of utmost importance. For this reason, we use a thorough cleaning process after each check-out.

★ NO SMOKING ★
Please refrain from smoking inside the home or courtyard/pool area! Any smoking evidence will result in a fee for odor removal, duct cleaning, and furniture cleaning.

★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.

★ PHOTOSHOOTS ★
We are a photo friendly property. If you're interested in reserving the property for photoshoots, please send us a message!

Interaction with Guests:
We strive to make sure your time at the house is relaxing and enjoyable and are always available during your stay if there are any questions or for any recommendations on what to do and see in the area.

Unfortunately we are located in Portland, OR so I won't be available onsite but we have a local team of cleaners and handymen should something arise.
