Pim's Place - 3BR/2.5Ba Bungalow / EV Charger / Pet Friendly

• When making an inquiry or submitting a request to book: - ensure the number of guests is accurate - tell us a little about what brings you to town (or your reasons for booking) - who will be staying with you - where you are traveling from - what time you plan to arrive • NO PARTIES, EVENTS, "GATHERINGS", or unauthorized visitors (anyone not included on your original reservation) on premises. This includes service providers booked through Airbnb Services. If your visit is to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion, please let us know in your message even if you do not plan to host it at the house. • NO SMOKING INSIDE (this includes all tobacco products, marijuana, vape pens/vaporizers, etc...). We are 420 friendly outside but guests must properly ash/extinguish/dispose of their smoking materials into the outdoor bins (never indoor bins) at the end of their reservation. Smoking of tobacco products (including spliffs and blunts, cigars, etc...) is not permitted anywhere on premise. • Number of guests listed in reservation must be updated and accurate prior to checkin. • We reserve the right to refuse, decline, or cancel bookings by guests who are local to the DMV, including those from guests who otherwise meet our minimum requirements. • If you are booking for someone else and will not be on site in person during the reservation, you must book through Airbnb Work business account and assign the reservation to the guest who will be staying. We may make an exception for certain specific extenuating circumstances at our sole discretion. The owner of the guest profile booking the stay remains expressly responsible for the reservation, its guests, and any damages. For third party reservations, including those made through Airbnb Work business accounts, the organizer/planner will be require to submit a security deposit through our property management software and all parties (organizer/planner + all adult guests) must read and sign a standard booking agreement. • It is the booking guest's sole responsibility to ensure the method of payment provided on Airbnb at the time of submitting a booking request is valid and appropriately funded to cover the total payment for the requested dates (or first payment for reservations greater than 30 nights). While Airbnb automatically allows 24 hours to resolve "awaiting payment" issues with their payment method after a booking request is accepted, our "awaiting payment" policy timeline is as follows: - for booking requests made and accepted more than 7 but less than 14 days before checkin: 12 hours to resolve "awaiting payment" issues and confirm the booking - for booking requests made and accepted less than 7 days but more than 48 hours before checkin: 8 hours to resolve "awaiting payment" issues and confirm the booking - for booking requests made and accepted less than 48 hours before checking: 4 hours to resolve "awaiting payment" issues and confirm the booking IF guest has responded to provide context for the issue or indicate they are actively working towards resolving it. If the booking request shows "awaiting payment" with no communication from guest, the booking request may be cancelled in as soon as 1 hour after initially being accepted. - guests may resubmit a booking request but a subsequent "awaiting payment" for the new booking request must be resolved immediately (within 30 minutes) - guests will not receive any access or checkin information until the "awaiting payment" issue is resolved and may result in delays to the stated checkin time • Guests must notify host directly and promptly of any issues so that we can address them. • DC consistently makes it to the top of every list published for worries in the country for mosquitoes/bugs, rodents, and other pests. We are built into wetlands and marshland, surrounded by water, naturally hot and humid, densely populated, and architecturally connected, all qualities that create the perfect environment for pests of all varieties. We make every effort to minimize their impact on our guests and proactively and preventatively treat the grounds but we cannot guarantee a pest free experience. Mosquitoes, flies, outdoor bugs, and rodents are a natural part of DC living and cannot be completely avoided or eradicated. Guests should keep doors and windows closed while not actively in use to prevent outdoor pests from entering the house. The presence or sighting of pests does not constitute or warrant a refund. Guests must notify us if an infestation (defined as the presence of an unusually large number of insects or animals in a place, typically so as to cause damage or disease; the state of being invaded or overrun by pests) is detected INSIDE the unit and allow a reasonable amount of time and access to the unit to inspect and address them. • Quiet Hours: In accordance with DC’s noise ordinance, noise levels must be kept under 55 decibels (the level of a normal conversation) between the hours of 10pm and 7am, seven days a week. This applies to both outdoor areas and, for units that are portion of a large, multi-unit property (ex. basement guest suites, private rooms, or upper unit of a multi-unit rowhome), indoors. If we must respond to a noise compliant from the owner, other guests, a neighbor, or by law enforcement, you may be fined and your group removed from the premises. • Absolutely to glitter or confetti • Absolutely no beer pong • Guests may not remove the protective mattress and pillow encasements and/or protectors. These are for everyone’s health and safety. • Be sure to clean up behind yourself. Guests staying longer than a couple of days are responsible for day to day cleaning and upkeep (ex. collecting trash and taking it to the outdoor bins for collection day, cleaning up messes and spills, wiping counters and stove, sweeping/swiffering/vacuuming as needed, and acting in due diligence to prevent undue wear and tear, damage, and attraction of pests). Guests will be responsible for any additional cleaning costs caused by their failure to do so. • Be respectful of our neighbors. We expect guests to be conscientious contributors while visiting our city. • Do not put any solids, grease/oil, or food waste down the drain, including the kitchen sink. Any costs associated with your stay for unclogging a drain or any plumbing repairs caused by improper use may be passed on to the guest. • On premise parking is included at no additional cost. The parking space is accessed from the rear of the house through a remote controlled sliding parking gate. The gate remote MUST be returned at checkout. You will be charged the $100 replacement fee if you fail to leave the gate remote at checkout. • Street parking is first come first served. We advise that guests lock their vehicle(s) at all times, not leave any items visible in their vehicle, never leave valuables in their vehicle, and regularly check their vehicle and nearby parking signage. Guests are responsible for abiding by any and all parking laws, regulations, and restrictions. We are not responsible for your vehicle and and make no guarantees as to the safety or security of guest vehicles. • No unauthorized late checkouts. • Guests may not enter locked interior doors or areas marked “PRIVATE”. Guest may not enter or access the basement, either from the interior or exterior doors. • Guests may not alter, tamper with, or manually override the timer for the garden lights to extend their operation beyond the pre-set shut off time. • If you forget an item upon departure, we are happy to mail it back to you for the cost of shipping plus a $10 convenience fee. Provide a description of the missing item and where you remember seeing it last/may have left it, your mailing address, and any preferences for shipping method/insurance. We will send a shipping estimate for you approval, followed by a Request for Money through the Airbnb Resolution Center. Once paid, we will mail your item. For large or high value items, you may opt to make arrangements for the item to be collected, packaged, and shipped by a private service. • Firearms and guns of any kind must be disclosed and approved PRIOR to booking. If a weapon of any kind if left by guests, it will be surrendered to the Metropolitan Police Department and guests will need to make arrangements to recover it from MPD. • Jenna responds to booking platform messages (generally) between the hours of 10:30am and 2am, EST. If you have an urgent issue, time sensitive need, or are experiencing an emergency and have already called 911, CALL. My phone is on Do Not Disturb overnight so I won’t wake up to booking platform alerts/messages or text messages but phone calls go through and I will wake up to my ringtone. After hour contact is for emergencies only. • The gas fireplace in the living room is functional and available seasonally during the cold weather months (loosely November - February). For general safety, the gas remains off so, if you would like to use the fireplace during your visit, you must notify us in advance, meet your host for use and safety instruction, and sign a fireplace agreement. • Guests may not sleep on the living room sofas • We do not recommend sending packages to yourself if you will not be available to receive it in person. We are not able to accept packages on your behalf and porch piracy is a major issue I DC so we cannot guarantee receipt. • PETS - we are welcome up to 2 dogs per reservation. Cats are not permitted due to the host's allergies. Pet Fee = $75 - You’ll find a grey chest with pet supplies by the back door, including down-cycled towels for wiping wet and dirty paws, pet bowls, a pet emergency first aid kit, some treats, and misc. toys. - Dogs are permitted on the sofas only if they are disclosed in advance and we have installed our pet-safe sofa covers. Dogs are not permitted in the beds. If your dogs sleep in bed with you at home, you must bring your own bed linens, including comforter/blankets. - The front yard may not be used as relief areas (we are trying to re-establish native ground cover and pollinator garden beds). Dogs may be let out in the back yard to relieve themselves but guests are required to pick up behind their pets and dispose of the waste in tied off baggies in the outdoor trash bins. DC Scoop the Poop laws ticket and fine violators who do not clean up after their pets and so do we so remember to bring pet waste bags. - Dogs may not be left alone or unattended anywhere on premise unless they are crate trained and crated in an appropriately sized dog crate that is 1. Large enough for them to comfortable lay down and fully extend their limbs, 2. Tall enough for them to stand comfortably with a 2 inch clearance above their head, 3. Wide enough for them to comfortable turn around in a 360 degree circle, 4. Has both a water proof liner in the bottom and a escape proof/resistant latching mechanism, and 5. Has clean water source available inside if the dog will be crated for more than 2 consecutive hours. - Dogs must be leashed when outside the house, excluding the back yard. - Dogs must be house-trained, not crate or puppy pad trained. - If your dog's barking becomes a significant nuisance or I receive complaints from the owner or our neighbors, you will be asked to board the dog and provide documentation from the facility. If you refuse and the barking nuisance continues, your reservation will be cancelled without refund. Note: we are referencing excessive, continuous barking, not the normal occasional barking while playing or alerting to unfamiliar sounds (though, if your dog is particularly sensitive to external noises or fireworks during the summer, we will not be a good fit for you) - We do not discriminate against any breed. For the safety of our neighbors' dogs, dogs who exhibit aggressive behaviors or unchecked reactivity are not permitted, regardless of breed or size (that means the little ones too...). This is a densely populated area with a lot of human and canine foot traffic so, if your dog is uncontrollably reactive towards strangers and/or other dogs, we will not be a good fit for your visit. - Guests will be responsible for any and all damage to the property or its furnishings caused by their dog, both indoors and outside, including cleaning costs for pet messes and accidents. • Disclosure: we have exterior front and rear facing motion and noise detecting cameras with recording capabilities. These cameras are generally not monitored unless suspicious activity or excessive notifications are noticed.
