FAQ

It's the same home and the same host either way. Booking direct through our website is 20% cheaper than booking the same home on Airbnb. Booking on Airbnb gives you Airbnb's own payment system and protections. Every home page has a Check dates & book direct button and a Book on Airbnb button, so choose whichever you prefer.

Open the home you're interested in and tap Check dates & book direct. You'll see live availability and the exact price for your dates before you pay. You can also compare all five homes first.

Cancellation terms depend on your dates and are always shown before you pay, on our direct booking page or at Airbnb checkout. If you'd like to check them before booking, send us a message and we'll walk you through them.

Check-in is after 4:00 PM (until midnight), and checkout is before 10:00 AM.

Just ask. We accommodate early check-in and late checkout whenever the cleaning schedule allows. Luggage drop-off is also allowed at most of our homes if you arrive early or leave late.

Not much. Please leave no dirty dishes in the sink and lock up when you leave. That's it.
