Refundable Damage Deposit
Deposit covers potential damage, not typical wear and tear. Same as for any residential rental. We inspect on the day you check out, and initiate a refund of the deposit as soon as we verify that everything is in good order.
Notes
Hosts live directly above the apartment. It's been recently remodeled and soundproofed, but during the day you'll hear some steps, muffled voices, and occasional doggy play. The space directly above your bedroom is only used as a home office, typically during daytime hours. If you have an unusual schedule or need quiet at specific times, just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.
