The Grey Cozy Corner in Alexandria (Room #1)

🚫 No Unregistered Guests or Visitors 🚫 Unless otherwise discussed and approved in advance, only the people on the reservation are allowed to stay overnight. (This ensures everyone’s safety and privacy in our shared home.) 🚫 No Parties or Events 🚫 We welcome you to enjoy the space, but parties, loud gatherings, or any event are not permitted. Quiet hours are 10:00 PM – 7:00 AM every night to respect our neighbors and other guests. 🚫 No Smoking or Open Flames Indoors 🚫 Absolutely no smoking, vaping, incense, or candles inside the house. A minimum $250 deep-cleaning fee will be assessed if any smoking occurs indoors (to cover odor removal). You may smoke outside away from the property. ⚠️ Keep it Clean ⚠️ Please clean up after yourself in shared spaces. Wash any dishes you use, wipe down surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom after use, and avoid leaving personal items in common areas. If you use the washer and/or dryer, please move your clothes promptly so others can use the appliances. Clean the lint trap to ensure efficiency and prevent fire hazards. Guests are responsible for taking out the trash when full. Do not allow trash to accumulate. Trash and recycling must be placed outside the night before pickup (every Tuesday, or the following weekday if it’s a holiday). We provide cleaning supplies (vacuum, broom, etc.) so you can maintain your room. (We do a thorough cleaning before check-in and after check-out.) Note: For bookings close to the check-in date, we try our best to get cleaners in, however, they are not guaranteed by arrival. If that is the case, we will schedule cleaning as soon as possible. 🧹 ⚠️ Respect and Safety ⚠️ Treat the home and everyone in it with respect. No illegal activities or drugs on the property. Keep the front door locked, and do not share keys or entry codes with anyone. If you break or damage something, please inform us immediately — guests are responsible for any damages they cause. 🌡️ Thermostat & Temperature Settings To ensure comfort and energy efficiency for all guests, we kindly ask everyone to try and keep the thermostat set between 68°F and 72°F during their stay. If you have specific temperature preferences outside this range, please contact us to discuss possible accommodations. Note: Fans and heaters are available in our overflow storage closet. ⚠️ DO NOT BLOCK OR PARK IN FRONT OF DRIVEWAYS ⚠️ Follow street signs and park on the street. We are not responsible for car damages or car towing fees due to improper parking. ✅ ***By booking this listing, you acknowledge that you’ve read and agree to follow these house rules. Failure to adhere to the rules may result in additional fees or cancellation of your stay without refund, per Airbnb policy.*** 🛏️ Shared Space Notice: Please note this is a shared home. Your room is private and lockable, but you will be sharing common areas (kitchen, living room, bathroom) with a maximum of 2 other person(s) on the unit. We strive to keep these areas clean and available for everyone’s use. If you are looking for total seclusion or a hotel experience, this may not be the best fit – we want our guests to be comfortable with a home-share environment. We kindly ask all guests to be mindful of one another, especially in shared spaces. 🚗 Parking Information: Street parking near the house can fill up during the evening hours, especially after 7 PM. Don’t worry—parking is permitted beyond the immediate block, and it’s typically within a short walking distance. We recommend arriving a bit earlier if you prefer closer parking or if you'd like help figuring it out. We’re happy to guide you through the process! ⚠️ DO NOT BLOCK OR PARK IN FRONT OF DRIVEWAYS ⚠️ 🔇 Noise & Neighborhood: This is a respectful household and we enforce quiet hours (10 PM–7 AM), but normal living noises do occur. You might occasionally hear others in the home as they cook or do laundry. Likewise, we ask you to be mindful of noise, especially at night. The neighborhood is residential and generally peaceful. Any noise complaints from neighbors due to rule violations could result in Airbnb intervention. 🛡️ Safety & Security: For everyone’s safety, we have exterior security cameras monitoring the home’s outside entryway (no interior cameras). There is a fire extinguisher in the kitchen for your protection. Please secure your valuables; we are not responsible for lost or stolen personal items. (We’ve never had an issue, but it’s good practice.) ✅ Acceptance of Rules: By confirming a booking at our home, you agree to abide by all the house rules and disclaimers noted here. We kindly ask you to read these carefully. If anything is unclear, please ask – we’re happy to explain (it’s better to clarify now than have an issue later). Any violation of the agreed-upon rules can result in your reservation being canceled early, with no refund, as per Airbnb’s policies. We really want to avoid that – so when in doubt, just communicate with us. 🛠️ Issues and Maintenance: We pride ourselves on providing a clean and well-maintained space. We document the room’s condition with time-stamped photos before check-in to ensure everything is in order. If you notice anything amiss on arrival, please inform us within 24 hours so we can address it promptly. During your stay, if something breaks or isn’t working right, let us know immediately. Prompt communication helps us fix problems quickly and keeps everyone happy. We’re here to make sure you have a great stay, and we can only fix issues if we know about them. ⏰ Last-Minute Bookings: We do our best to accommodate all guests, including those who book last minute. However, please note that same-day or next-day bookings may not allow us sufficient time to fully refresh the room and common areas before your arrival. Even if the space was recently cleaned, we usually prefer a little buffer time to do final touch-ups and make sure everything is in top condition. If you book on short notice, we appreciate your understanding that the home may not have been cleaned the day of your arrival. Rest assured, we will try our best to schedule our cleaner as soon as possible if needed. Thank you for your flexibility and for helping us maintain a comfortable space for everyone!
