Off the hallway is a laundry room that is NOT part of the VRBO, but you may use the washing machine , dryer and large fridge that is in this room but because it is a "laundry/storage room, I am unable to keep this room to the same standards as your apartment, thus it is not part of the VRBO. CLEANING. I clean the apt. (except when i am traveling and a cleaning company comes.)I also DO NOT expect you to clean before you leave, this is your vacation. My cleaning practices have always included attention to door knobs, light switches, handles and high touch areas. All bed linens are changed between guests including the mattress pad, coverlet, and washed on the hottest cycle, as are the towels. Shower curtain and liner , floor mat and bath slip mat are also changed between every guest. I always open all windows and sometimes leave them open letting guests close them. I leave out diluted bleach, hand wipes, alcohol pads, disposable cloths for you to do any extra cleaning you may wish, and hand sanitizer by the entrance. I do NOT pass on the cleaning or Tax fees to you. (as someone who often stays at VRBO properties I do not like it when I see a rate for $100.00 but turns out to be $190.00 with fees.) The service fee is the fee for VRBO who do an excellent job. and offer alternate accommodation if you are not satisfied or there is a last minute problem. I am often away but readily contactable for any needs. We welcome you to our home but do not greet you, the key is kept in a lock Box, and let you settle in as you please. If you prefer to be greeted please let me know ahead of time.PLEASE NOTE
-You can sometimes hear the owners upstairs walking around their home. Occasionally you may hear TV or music.Heating and AC CANNOT be controlled in the apartment. It is kept at 70 and in addition there is a heater in each room should they be needed. The wood stove is not used. Some of the patio, not the apartment, can be seen from the owners property. See photos. The apt. and patio is for your private use, this is not shared space, the owners share the parking area. The apartment is how VRBO use to be 10 years ago, as in, a family lives upstairs and you can sometimes hear them, you may cross paths in the parking area, and there are signs of family all around, ect, its not a purpose bought house to just rent with no sign of anyone living in it. Lets not forget that the Vrbo platform was initally about sharing your home with others at resonable prices, not about renting empty investment homes for top dollar. If you prefer a pristine new sterile apartments there are many available properties in Ann Arbor. I AM REGISTERED WITH THE TOWN OF ANN ARBOR
