long as the room is left in good condition, check-out cleaning has been
performed and the keys have been returned. Deposits are not refunded
for cancellation of long term rooms.

30 days following the initial check-in date. A late payment fee of $50
is assessed for payments not made on or before due date. Non payment of
monthly rent within 5 days will result in removal of belongings from
the guest house.

50-75% off of the regular nightly rate. Refunds are not given for early
departures under any circumstances.

House Rules
No Shoe Policy.
No exceptions. Please bring house slippers or socks if you are more
comfortable. With our well
known wet weather, Seattleites are accustomed to taking off wet/dirty
shoes at the door. It helps keep our home clean for all guests to
enjoy. And you just might like the cozy and relaxed atmosphere it
brings. Mahalo and Arigato.
Kitchen. The kitchen is open from 8:00
am to 10:00 pm and is strictly enforced. This rule is in respect to our
guests sleeping in rooms adjoining the kitchen. All items in the
kitchen marked "House" are welcome to be consumed by all guests. Please
clean up after yourself by wiping the stove, counter tops etc. and
place all dirty dishes in the dishwasher or on drying rack if hand
washed. Remember you share the kitchen space with your fellow guests
and any mess left is unfair to the next person. Our Innkeepers are here to help with running of the operations, but are not to be considered the maid service to long term guests.

housekeepers clean all of the common areas twice weekly. If
you are a long term guest on a monthly rate, you are responsible for
cleaning your own room including linens and towels furnished to you.
You will find cleaning supplies in the kitchen closet. Please exercise common courtesy and clean up any messes or accidents you may cause. We must all do our part to keep the home clean and inviting for all guests.
