If you are part of a larger group, or have any specific sleeping arrangements, please inform us in your message so that we can accommodate your needs. BINS Refuse should be bagged and tied before disposing of it appropriately, as outlined in our welcome booklet. This allows for a smooth waste management system and ensures a clean and tidy environment for all concerned. SERVICING We have dehumidifiers in the kitchen and both bedrooms - it is important that you use these devices when cooking, ironing or drying clothes to prevent the accumulation of moisture. For short stays we aim to arrange any servicing of the flat outwith your stay. For longer stays we ask to visit the flat to look for any required maintenance approximately every two/three weeks. During these visits we aim to address any minor maintenance issues that arise. Rest assured we will provide you with prior notice of any visits and make every effort to accommodate your schedule. HEATING & ELECTRICITY Power is included in the cost of your stay. To offer competitive nightly rates we have priced our accommodations based on fair power usage and programme the thermostats accordingly. During the colder months we ensure the living room is heated to a 21 degrees Celsius, while other rooms are set lower - each room can be boosted at any point. Overnight, when guests are typically asleep, the thermostat is programmed lower until approximately 6am. SECURITY The flat is alarmed via 'Ring' - we set the code to be the last four digits of your phone number. An external camera monitors the main door in the close - it is normally only accessed if a concern is raised. The residents who stay in the building will appreciate friendly visitors to the flat who show mutual respect. It is deemed deeply inappropriate to disturb the residents of the building who are going about their normal, everyday lives i.e. work etc. Guests will have their stay ended early if any disturbances are reported. IDENTIFICATION You will be asked to send a copy of photographic identification for each guest staying at our place via our messaging platform. You should only ever have the number of guests you have booked for in the apartment, and these guests will have provided us with their identifications before arriving. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES If you book this flat you will be held responsible for both your own actions and the actions of your companions. In the event that any damage occurs or if our space is neglected, you will cover the costs of repairing or replacing the affected items. R.E.S.P.E.C.T We kindly request that you leave the flat in the same neat, clean, and tidy condition as it was when you arrived - this allows our prices to be competitive. We expect you to leave the flat, more or less, as you found it - at the end of your stay our cleaner carries out a basic service that includes washing used towels and bed linen, with some hygiene cleaning in the toilet and kitchen (we have budgeted for this in your costings). The cleaner does NOT pick up your rubbish, dispose of your belongings or remove stains from furnishings - we do not plan or budget for this type of cleaning and the £250 bill we receive for a domestic cleaner will be charged to you. We do NOT wash or put away any of your used crockery, pots, pans or utensils. We also do not expect to clean the oven, hob, microwave or fridge freezer after your stay - we do not plan or budget for this type of cleaning and the £250 bill we receive for a kitchen porter will be charged to you. For long stays you are expected to find time to clean the flat on a frequent basis - we can organise cleaning on your behalf at an additional cost. NO PETS We are NOT pet friendly. This policy is in place to ensure a pleasant experience for all our guests. Accommodating pets requires a more extensive and unattainable cleaning schedule, which would compromise our availability and quality of service. Quick turnarounds can also result in unpleasant odours lingering in the property. You will be charged all losses incurred as a result of you bringing an animal to the flat - this could involve associated damage, cleaning costs or even accommodating future guests elsewhere until the matter is resolved. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and clean environment for all our guests, and we appreciate your cooperation in maintaining this standard NO PARTIES Our license does not permit gatherings or parties. PRICING Generally, the longer your stay the cheaper your nightly rate works out. In line with UK law, by giving 28 nights notice you can shorten your stay but your request to shorten the number of nights stayed could result in an increase the nightly rate. We can extend your stay depending on availability. NO SMOKING Our license, and local law, forbids smoking and vaping in or around the property. Smoking/Vaping within the premises will result in a fine of £2500, which may be increased depending on any associated damages. We expect and appreciate respectful guests, however not all individuals are aware of common courtesy towards our belongings hence the need to emphasise these rules. Thank you for your cooperation in respecting our guidelines. Registration Details RN00031F
