Other Things to Note: "Can you give me a discount?"
I'm happy to offer a 10% discount for weekly stays and 20% discount for monthly stays.
"Do you have reliable Internet & WiFi?"
Yes, we have lightning-fast fiber optic internet and WiFi, in fact, we're known for some of the fastest internet in the U.S., which we're very proud of :)
"What's the monthly rate? Can I lease month to month?"
If there's a full month available with no existing bookings, you're welcome to select the dates and the app will show you the pricing breakdown for your date range. We've had many guests book 30+ nights and we do offer a large 20% discount for monthly bookings. Also, for your safety and convenience, we only book through this app (no traditional leases or "under the table" agreements). If the dates are available, you're welcome to book multiple months and the app will charge you once a month (the same rhythm as a traditional lease).
"What kind of coffee maker do you have?"
We have a drip coffee machine, it can brew a steaming hot cup with single-serving or an entire pot of fresh coffee, per your preference. I’m also happy to provide coffee and filters, on the house :) If you have a specific brand of coffee that you enjoy, you're welcome to bring that, too.
I look forward to welcoming you to The Gardenia!

Property was great, pretty on point with ad pics, walking distance to everything. And, we didn’t take anything we didn’t bring (hopefully we didn’t leave anything either). Overall great getaway
