An interior staircase (about 20 steps) joins the two levels, but the middle door on the staircase is always locked — its code is provided only if you book the entire house. A full-size Pack 'n Play is in the outdoor storage closet on the upper patio (by the BBQ, turn left, folded on the lower shelf).

Check-in

Check-in is any time after 4:00 PM, with self check-in by keypad. Early check-in may be possible on days without a same-day turnover; just ask.

Park in one of the 4 free parking spots on the property (free street parking is also available by the upper-unit entrance).

Go to the upstairs door and enter code provided on the Schlage smart lock.

The first touch on the Schlage button only wakes the lock. If it doesn’t open on the first try, enter the code again.

The door code and these instructions are also sent one day before arrival.

Check-out: before 10:00 AM
