CHECK IN/OUT INSTRUCTIONS & HOUSE RULES
KP1400 PARKING: Two off-street spots on North side of property just off 22nd Street. Additional onstreet parking on North and West side of property. Do not park or block the neighbors driveways or the alley behind the house.
SECURITY SYSTEM: Security system control panel is located in kitchen on the shelf of the built in at top of stairs. First responders will be dispatched in case of an emergency that is automatically system triggered or manually triggered using keypad. If the alarms are going off at property and it is a non emergency please text and call owner immediately to let them know the situation because they will likely be receiving a call or alert shortly from security company and need to make a split second decision on weather to dispatch first responders. Disabling security system for any reason is against house rules and puts guests and property at risk.
WIFI: Network and Password will be sent via text after check in.
COMMON AREAS: Common areas are for all guests to enjoy. Please keep common areas clean and free of personal items. These areas are shared with all guests on property. These areas include hallways, bathrooms, stairwells, entryway, parlor, dining room, kitchen, laundry area, yard, parking area, porch, and patio. If you do turn on any lights in common areas please turn them off when finished.
PORCH/PATIO: Enjoy the patio which includes tables, chairs, and grill. Please respect neighbors and other guests by keeping it down during quiet hours. Please refrain from keeping doors open this will help prevent insects from entering property as well as maintain temperature within property.
HEATING/COOLING: Temperature is difficult to regulate in a large historic property; therefore, the thermostat is locked and on a seasonal daily schedule. The Heating/Cooling system is preset to adjust temp based on outside temp, season, and activity. Blankets and oscillating fans are provided in each room to allow guests to help guests personalize temperature to thier own needs. If outside doors/windows are left open, the Heating/Cooling system will automatically bump up/down temperature then eventually shut off if doors or windows are left open for an extended period of time. This is done when it is warm and humid to protect Heating/Cooling system from damage due to system overload. Doors/Windows left open in the cooler months will lead to excessive heating costs and freezing/breaking pipes. Leaving outside windows or doors open is explicitly against house rules. To best regulate temperature in both KP1400 and KP1404 during all seasons keep outside windows and doors closed plus doors/curtains to basement and attic loft closed. For guest safety whenever the fire alarm goes off it does automatically shut off the heating/cooling system and will need to be turned back on manually by the owner.
TV & MUSIC: Roku TV's will be in Guest Mode which will allow you to sign into your personal streaming accounts (Netflix, Hulu, Sling TV, Spotify, Pandora, Sirus XM, etc).
