If you search the address using Google map it may send you to The Apex at 290 Apartments on rt 119 (Tarrytown rd) Sky Meadow is right behind it and reachable from rt 100A. GPS coordinates 41°02'49.29" N 73°48'32.33" W I do not charge cleaning fee and deposit because I think it's unfair for single nights or few but for long stays I charge a bit more for the biweekly cleaning lady and for the wear and tear and occasional breakage. We are early riser (5am) and early sleepers. Quiet hour after 9 pm is greatly appreciated. Check in and check out are flexible but based on our work schedule so, early check in (before 3pm) or late (after 9pm) and/or late check out (after 10am) may be possible but may also be not. Before making a reservation please let us know your plans and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs but if we can't we'll be honest about it. The house is at the bottom of a downhill driveway and there is plenty of parking. In winter it may be difficult to drive up so we suggest to park on the street on the left side of the driveway looking at the house. We don't charge for cleaning so keep in mind that unless you clean after yourself your hosts will be doing the cleaning. We have a cleaning lady coming every other Monday and in between we all do our part. Often guests mistake Airbnb for a hotel and expect service. For us is sharing our home and while we love to welcome strangers in our private space and make sure they have all they need, we also expect them to respect the house like they would with their own. We are very environmentally conscientious to a fault and avoid waste of any kind. Please turn lights off when not in use, be mindful with water consumption when washing dishes or by taking short showers. We air dry clothes recycle and compost and thermostats are kept below (for heat) or above (for AC) the average recommended settings so if you like to be hot in winter and cold in summer maybe our home is not for you. In summer we prefer to use fans and turn AC on just in extreme conditions
