We are not the police but do find that some simple common sense rules can make for a peaceful stay Jimmy The house is a very large Edwardian House started in 1888 and completed in 1900 for a local lumber Baron and his family. I live in the former servant’s quarters in the basement with “Hannah” my German Shepard rescue dog We are located down the street from Wright Park one of the city’s premiere parks with running trails, walking paths, fountains a kid’s water park area and too many other things to list. There are hundreds of restaurants, fast food and bars all within a short walk of the house. I am providing budget-oriented, sociable accommodations in a clean, quiet comfy home with a small European Hostel feel for those with a gusto for something fun and different. There can possible be up to ten guests staying here but there are normally 2 or 3 at most and never feels too much. Feel free to be social or not, its 100% up to you. We are in an ethnically diverse neighborhood, you are going to see White, Latin, Asian and Black neighbors walking around as we have a huge park across the street. The front porch is a great place to relax with a beverage and watch the local Tacoma characters. We are constantly striving to improve the guest experience so any suggestions good or bad are taken very seriously. We practice Buy American at the house so you may notice that most all of the appliances are “Made in America” and we try to make sure as much as possible is. Also the house is 80% led smart lighting and we are shooting for 100%. I have been hosting over three year now and I find it exciting and very fun, other than washing all those linens We have recently had issues with Airbnb users booking for other guests, and we do not allow this and either do the Airbnb terms of service. This is my home and you get to see who I am I want to know who my guest is. I reserve the right to check the government id of guests checking in, just to keep us all honest in this eco system Please feel free to contact me if you would like any specific information Day arriving: Please contact me with an approximate arrival time in the morning. If I don’t hear from you I will meet you at that time. If you are not sure please contact me and just let me know a window like 6 to 7pm so I can start to organize my day. If I am not at the house, I will be at my office which is only a couple blocks away I try to greet all guests in person at the front door and provide a quick tour of the house. Give you a set of key to the bedroom. Answer any questions you have then let you go from there. If I cannot meet you please use the digital lock on front door Checking out: Please make sure windows are closed Place the keys by the tv in your room Message me that you are checking out Have a great journey and I hope we see you again Long-term Guests more than two weeks: We serve a real need for longer term guests that need clean affordable temporary housing. We have had many guests stay one, two even three or more months here and I feel that they are family. That being said I give a very good monthly rate but to do that I need you to cooperate. Please take your trash out to the dumpster (don’t stack it in the kitchen) After washing and drying dishes put them away, don’t leave them in dish rack or dishwasher and rinse out the sink. 🏠 Welcome to Casa Camandona — where great vibes meet blazing-fast internet.
