EARLY/LATE CHECK IN/OUT
Early or late check ins and check outs are possible in Most cases. There is a fee of $35 each additional hour. You will be sent a request to pay by the host through the app. The fee covers additional usage of utilities and supplies and the time it takes to coordinate the adjustment of your reservation with the automated locks and cleaning team.
HEAT AND AC
The thermostat is controlled remotely and the host can be contacted through messaging to adjust the temperature. Multiple past guests have physically damaged the thermostat resulting in costly replacements each time, so this adjustment was made to better protect the home. The host is happy to adjust the temp remotely any time it's needed, please don't be shy! Otherwise, the temp is set to a comfortable 70 degrees.
HOT TUB MAINTENANCE
The hot tub is maintained after every checkout by the cleaning team. If the hot tub needs to be drained or cleaned due to misuse including if trash, alcohol or anything icky is found in the hot tub or if the hot tub cover or hot tub itself is scratched, ripped, bent, burnt, dented or damaged in any way, additional fees could apply.
TRASH CANS
There are small trash cans in the bathrooms and one larger trashcan in the kitchen. If guests need access to bigger trash cans, there are three 50 gal totes in the backyard on the side of the house. This home caters to large parties that generally generate large amounts of trash. Trash is picked up once a week by the City of Arvada. Although the larger cans are often full, they are kept out of sight on the side of the house. Guests who happen to stay through Sunday will receive a message asking if they would bring the cans to the end of the driveway for Monday trash pick up. If guests are not able or willing to do so, it's ok!; they can respond to the request and other arrangements will be made for the trash.
