We have seen firsthand what housing shortage feels like. So we turned our homes into affordable living when the opportunity arose. The Bird’s Nest is one of those spaces we offer at an affordable price. We hope you can enjoy it as much as our families did. Given that our rates are relatively low, we cannot offer any discounts beyond what is listed. We also do not operate outside of Airbnb, for everyone’s safety. On the other hand, we offer a flexible cancellation policy to accommodate that pesky unpredictability. Did you notice that we don’t charge a cleaning fee? This is intentional, in the spirit of affordable living. At the same time, we charge a fee for early check-in (and for late check-out). Simply message us if you like to find out if these add-ons are available. We will then send you a link to book them. Whether you check out by 11AM, or have an arrangement to check out late, please help us keep cleaning costs down. There will be detailed check-out instructions sent on the Airbnb app the day before your departure. If your schedule allows it, please follow those check-out instructions. We are committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you in advance for booking with us. Heather & Heidi
