Other things to note A Few Friendly Notes for Your Stay at MELBA ⸻ House Guidelines – MELBA Boutique Studios These guidelines are here to help keep the house beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone. Thank you for taking a moment to read them – and for being part of the gentle rhythm of life here. ⸻ Shoes This is a shoes-off home – barefoot or in slippers feels great and keeps the carpets fresh. ⸻ Smoking Non-smoking house – including balconies and loggias. If you smoke, just let me know and I’ll show you a comfortable, wind-safe spot outside. ⸻ Water & Toilet • The island has no public sewage system – everything runs through a private tank. • Water is precious – please shower consciously and avoid waste. • Tap water is safe to drink. • Toilets are sensitive – only flush toilet paper (in normal amounts). If in doubt, flush twice. ⸻ Kitchen • The handcrafted concrete island is beautiful but delicate – use heat mats for hot pots and cutting boards for food prep. • Wipe gently after use so no stains dry in. ⸻ Towels • Each guest gets: 3 white towels (bathroom) + 1 coloured towel (beach). • Please use wooden drying racks – not balcony railings. ⸻ Front Door • Our door uses a secure Nuki electronic lock – you’ll receive a personal PIN code for easy entry. • To lock from outside: press arrow button on keypad. • To lock from inside: turn round knob. • Please make sure it’s closed on windy days and whenever you leave. ⸻ Heating & Cooling • The AC runs via a modern air-to-air heat pump – works best at 22–23 °C with windows closed. • The studios also have cosy underfloor heating for cooler days. • Please don’t adjust the wall thermostats – they’re only for the underfloor heating, not cooling. ⸻ Ceiling Fan Set to rotate counterclockwise for cooling, and turn off when leaving. ⸻ Windows & Mosquitos • Large square windows in bedroom/living room are heavy – tilt gently, don’t open fully. • Use marked windows with mosquito nets for fresh air. • Keep balcony doors closed in mosquito hours (morning/evening). • Please don’t squash mosquitos on curtains – it leaves stains. • Each apartment has: mosquito lamp, natural citronella spray, outdoor mosquito coil. ⸻ Waste & Recycling • In-studio bins: plastic + paper. • Outside bins (south side): • Yellow = plastic • Blue = paper • Green = general waste • Brown = glass • Taking rubbish out during your stay (and once more at checkout) is a big help. ⸻ Plants If your studio has an olive tree, a little evening water is appreciated. ⸻ Rain & Balcony If it rains and you’re home, please move carpets or small furniture to a dry spot. ⸻ Cats Two sweet cats live downstairs – but they’re not allowed upstairs. Please don’t feed or invite them in. If they visit your terrace/loggia, let me know. ⸻ Thank you for reading – and for caring for this place as if it were your own. If anything is unclear, I’m happy to help. Wishing you a warm welcome and a peaceful stay at MELBA.
