Please Know Before Booking
*This apartment occupies the third floor of a historic Victorian home and is accessed by stairs only. There is no elevator.
*Because this is the upper floor of a Victorian home, some rooms feature architectural angles, arches, and rooflines that are part of the home's original character.
*Guests who prefer modern construction, completely uniform ceiling lines, or hotel-style architecture may prefer a different type of accommodation.
*The bathroom is fully functional but compact, as is common in older Victorian homes.
*The apartment is cooled by window air-conditioning units rather than central air. Window units provide effective cooling, but guests should expect some normal operating sound while they are running.
A Distinctive Garden Setting
*The property has a landscaped garden rather than a traditional front lawn. The garden includes a variety of established and native-style plantings and is intentionally different from a conventional grass yard.
*Many guests and neighbors especially enjoy the garden and the character it brings to the property.
*If your preference is a traditional suburban lawn with open green grass, this property may not be the best match for you.
*The goal is to contribute to our ecosystem and environment with love and intention.
Please Review the Photos
*The listing photos are intended to accurately represent the apartment, its furnishings, décor, architecture, and overall style.
*The apartment has a warm, collected, individual aesthetic rather than a minimalist or hotel-style design.
*Please review all photos carefully before booking to make sure the space suits your personal preferences.
Additional Services
Laundry and errand services may be available for an additional fee and must be arranged in advance.
House Rules & Reservation Transparency
*This is a family-friendly and business-traveler-friendly property located within a residential home and neighborhood.
*Parties, events, unauthorized gatherings, casual meet-ups, and illegal activity are not permitted.
*Because this is a private residential property, I may ask for basic information about the purpose of your stay before accepting a reservation.
*Guests should be comfortable providing a general reason for their visit.
My goal is simple: to provide a peaceful, comfortable, well-cared-for stay for guests who are a good match for the property.
GUEST ACCESS
*The apartment has a private, key-code entrance located on the side of the house—not through the front porch.
*If you are facing the front of the house, the guest entrance is on the left side, facing the green house next door.
*Please note the stairs before booking
*Because the apartment is located on the third floor, guests need to be comfortable climbing stairs.
*Approximately 15 outdoor steps lead to the private guest entrance.
*Once inside, there are approximately 18 additional indoor steps, separated by landings, to reach the third-floor apartment.
*There is no elevator.
*Please consider the stair access carefully if anyone in your group has mobility limitations, is traveling with very heavy luggage, or simply prefers accommodations without multiple flights of stairs.
*Motion-sensor lighting provides additional visibility and convenience when arriving or leaving after dark. With your private key code, you may come and go as you please.
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
*I live on the premises and am available if you need assistance during your stay.
*You can reach me by phone or text, and I am generally just a knock on the door away. I also respect your privacy and will give you space to enjoy the apartment independently.
*If I am ever unavailable for a period of time, I will communicate that clearly and make appropriate arrangements so that assistance is still available if needed.
OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE
*Optional services may be available for an additional fee, including laundry assistance, errands, light daily tidying, and grocery or pantry stocking.
*If you would like groceries waiting for you when you arrive, you may place an online order in advance and coordinate delivery with me. Depending on the arrangement, I may also be able to receive and put away your order before arrival. Additional fees may apply.
*The kitchen is equipped for everyday cooking. If you need a particular kitchen item during your stay, please ask and I will do my best to help.
*The kitchen is compact but fully equipped for everyday cooking. Dining space includes a small table with seating for two, along with two counter stools.
Because this is a 740 sq. ft. third-floor apartment in a historic Victorian home, the dining area is intentionally space-efficient rather than a large formal dining room.
LAUNDRY
*There is no guest laundry inside the apartment.
*A nearby laundromat, Grove Laundry at 127 Grove Street in Montclair, offers self-service laundry as well as drop-off/pick-up options. Guests may also ask me about laundry assistance for an additional fee.
