They are very difficult to accommodate and do disturb the household. We ask that you coordinate with us about arrival, as it is important that we be here to let you in and orient you to the space.

You will interact with the other two residents, and the bath is shared and we ask that you be respectful of all who live here. Please avoid late night arrival requests. This is a quiet neighborhood with no streetlights and it is dark. We have quiet hours from 9 pm until 8 am. During this time, refrain from phone conversations in the main part of the house or moving around and making noise. (We get up early and go to bed early.)This is a small working sustainable urban farm and so we get up with the sun most days. You are welcome to enjoy the farm grounds and learn about urban farming with us! We share a driveway with 16 Muriel Street and you will arrive at 16 Muriel Street and we will show you where to park. There is no self check in option in the winter months. In the winter, this driveway is snowy and long and if you want off street parking, you need snow tires. You will have to cross a path and a bridge to get to the house. It is lovely and romantic, but in snowy, wintery weather it can be slippery. Check in after 8 PM in the winter time is very strongly discouraged. Again, it is dark, and we gt up very early. Other things to note We are a short walk to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This room features a brand new Thuma SINGLE bed. This is a strictly vegetarian home, so we ask that you be respectful of this. We are happy to suggest nearby excellent meat restaurants. Use of the laundry is restricted to guests staying four nights or longer. We ask that you be conscientious of lights when you leave a room and water usage when you shower. Please avoid requests for late night arrivals as this is a neighborhood without street lights and it is dark. (We also go to bed early.)
