We are always happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. However we try to make our listing as complete as possible so please see if you can find your answer there or in the following questions. Is the apartment available for a certain date? If you filter your search for the dates you need and our apartment pops up it is available. If you are browsing without a date filter you can use the "check availability" button and it will show you a calendar with the open dates. Can we check in early? We will accommodate an early checkin to the best of our ability. It all depends on whether or not we have a guest the night before you arrive and when they check out. Do to these unknowns we won't know if or when we can allow an early checkin until the night before or the day of your checkin. If you need the apt before the 4:00 pm checkin let us know and we will do our best to have it ready asap and text you as soon as it's ready. If you absolutely have to have the apartment before 4:00 pm the safest bet is to book an extra day Can we check-out late? Generally no. We plan on being there to get the apartment ready right at noon. Whoever, if you have extenuating circumstances let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. If you need accommodations past 11:00 am you may need to consider booking another night. How far is it to (anywhere)? Airbnb includes a map that shows the one block radius our building is in (Airbnb blocks the exact address and location until after you book for security reasons). We also have included a list of distances to common destinations in our photos. The building is centrally located less then a mile from the expressway and In general you can be anywhere in the Lansing area in 10-15 by car. Is it a safe neighborhood? Crime statistics are hard to come by on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis. Lansing is a mid sized city with the typical diverse demographic you would find in a downtown area. While we do not reside in the building we do stay there on on a regular basis and are in and out several times a week and often everyday and neither of us have had a concern for our safety. As anywhere you should use prudence and be aware of your surroundings. Will you negotiate your rate? No. We do offer a 10% discount for continuous stays of 30 days or more, the discount will automatically be applied when you reserve a stay of that length. Our focus is to provide the best housing experience for our guest. To that end we price our units fairly so we have the funds necessary for cleaning, up keep, and on going improvements to the building and apartments, taking into consideration the other housing options available in the area and current demand. Giving random discounts would be confusing and unfair to our other guests. We (and our past guest) feel that our apartments are a great value at the listed price. Can we just pay you directly? No. It would violate our relationship with Airbnb. We feel they provide there service in good faith and provide protection to to both us as host and you as guest in the unlikely event of a problem or disagreement. Please make your reservation using the Airbnb web site.
