Other things to note The fourth bedroom is located on the ground floor and features a Murphy bed with a Casper mattress and attached bathroom. Cleaning is provided; however, you are expected to follow the check-out instructions prior to your departure. Failure to comply may lead to additional cleaning charges. Because the house is so large, it may take up to four hours to clean after full occupancy. For couples, cleaning is usually more straightforward. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to scale the cleaning fee for the guest party size; for now one size fits all. There is no central air conditioning but two cooling units and several fans are provided.
