Other Things to Note:
PLEASE CONTACT US PRIOR TO BOOKING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW RENTAL AGREEMENT.
We charge for additional guests above a fixed amount. This amount and additional charge varies by unit type, size, and configuration. If you input the correct guest count when you make your reservation the amount the booking site indicated as the total cost will not change (due to guest count). We ask for confirmation of guest count after you complete your booking. If you need to increase your guest count after booking confirmation due to a booking error, this could result in a price increase. Finally, we verify guest count via external cameras located on our properties. In the event that we notice a guest count at the property that is higher than reported, we reserve the right to ask for additional guest fees that would be double the amount we would have charged prior to check-in.
Kindly refer to the following guidelines regarding fees for extra guests:
Studio & 1 BR units - $25 per guest/night after 2 guests (i.e. 3 guests would be $25/night extra and 4 guests would be $50/night extra)
2 BR units - $30 per guest/night after 4 guests (i.e. 5 guests would be $30/night extra and 6 guests would be $60/night extra)
3 BR unit - $35 per guest/night after 6 guests (i.e. 7 guests would be $35/night extra and 8 guests would be $70/night extra)
4 BR units - $40 per guest/night after 8 guests (i.e. 9 guests would be $40/night extra and 10 guests would be $80/night extra)
5 BR+ units - $45 per guest/night after 10 guests (i.e. 11 guests would be $45/night extra and 12 guests would be $90/night extra)
Although this unit is non-smoking unfortunately my neighbors do smoke outside and occasionally this drifts over to the unit. Thus, it is possible that you may smell smoke even though no one has smoked in the unit.
Please be aware that there is a garden unit beneath you and that the on site manager who lives there can very clearly hear any noise that you make upstairs. Thus, quiet hours for the first floor of your apartment begin at 10pm so as not to disturb my manager.
Please also note that the backyard and rooftop deck are shared with her. Thus, if you make a mess of either space and you receive pictures of the mess and we ask you to clean up after yourselves, please do not act surprised/accuse us of violating your privacy.
If you are local to Chicago (your residence is located within 100 miles of the Chicago city center) and book for less than 7 days we reserve the right to ask you to cancel your reservation. We rarely make an exception to policy but may elect to do so at our sole discretion. We also have a 2 day minimum stay for all bookings due an ordinance passed by the city of Chicago in 2020. If you book for less than 2 days we’ll ask you to cancel your reservation.
Gatherings/parties are strictly forbidden at this property. Any guest violating this policy is subject to a $1000 fine.
Also, please be aware that there is a garden unit beneath you and that the on site manager who lives there can very clearly hear any noise that you make upstairs. Thus, quiet hours for the first floor of your apartment begin at 10pm so as not to disturb my manager in the garden unit beneath you.
Please ensure that you have no more than 6 people/1500 lb on the deck since doing so is a violation of City of Chicago law.
My unit is very pet friendly, however we do charge a pet fee of $40/night per pet that you bring with you. For stays greater than a week we are happy to reduce this to $200per week and $400per month for 1+ month stays. This fee is not included in the accommodation fare rate. We will send a request for the additional funds once the number of pets is confirmed after booking.
***If you neglect to inform us ahead of time that you are bringing a pet with you then we reserve the right to either TERMINATE your stay early or DOUBLE the pet fee retroactively for the entirety of your reservation.***
This unit *does not have cable TV on any of its TVs.*
However, the two main TVs (in the living room and the master bedroom) are both smart TVs / wifi capable which means you can watch shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime video, Disney +, HBO, etc.
Laundry services may be available for longer term guests (stays >7 days) on a case by case basis or for a fee for shorter term guests.
Additionally, if you are booking over the weekend, we require the stay to include Friday and Saturday night. If you instant book a checkout on Saturday I will ask you to modify your stay to include Sunday as well.
Furthermore, the temperature is remotely locked to the following ranges:
Summer - 70 to 80°
Winter - 65 to 75°
I do this to keep costs down for guests and also to do my part to reduce energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If you would like to adjust the temperature outside of this range please inquire directly and I can completely unlock the thermostat for you for a fee of $10 per day booked.
The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming I can offer this at all (I often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):
1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $100
1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $200
2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $300
3+ hr early arrival/late departure: $400 or an additional night’s stay, whichever is more
These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes my cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which I hold them to.
***Smoking is strictly forbidden anywhere on the property - the apartment interior, front landing/steps, back stairs, rooftop deck or back yard***
***If we find cigar/cigarette butts of any kind on the property or evidence of smoking (ash on rooftop deck, patio, empty cigarette packs, etc.) we will assess a $500 cleaning fee in addition to the regular cleaning fee***
Finally, guests are strictly forbidden from bringing firearms or items associated with them (including guns, bullets, gunpowder, shells, magazines, silencers, etc.) on this property whether or not they are licensed. If you violate this policy or we find evidence that you did (e.g. firearms or bullets are discovered by our cleaners following your stay) we will assess a $1000 fine.
For guests requiring a pack n play, high chair, or any other non-standard item, please submit your request at least 7 days before check-in to ensure availability. If the request is made less than 7 days prior to check-in, we will make every effort to accommodate it, but cannot guarantee availability.
Interaction with Guests:
Unfortunately I won't be in town if you're staying at my place, but otherwise feel free to act with my delightful manager living in the lower unit. Let her know if there's anything you need. I should be available to speak with email/text if there is something urgent that you feel you need to speak with me about personally.
