--------------------------------------

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

--------------------------------------

• Upon booking, please provide:

1). A screen shot of valid ID (passport) with photo of all occupants as this is required by the Building's Security and Administration offices. The building security will only allow guest names submitted to sleep inside the unit. This is their way of ensuring security and safety of guests/occupants;

2). Kindly email estimated time of arrival to the condominium or better yet, flight details;

3). How to contact you during your travels;

• Rate inclusive of utilities only.

• FREE WIFI internet (good for light surfing only) and Cable TV are provided as a convenience. However, these services are provided by outside vendor, thus the connections cannot always be guaranteed.

• If guest would like an upgraded internet service, it can be arranged but would need at least 4 days advance notice. Kindly note that charges for the upgrades will be shouldered by guest and must be paid in advance for me to process.

• Free WIFI is also available at the Lobby.

• This is a self-contained privately owned residential condominium where I stay sometimes. It is DIFFERENT than a hotel, hostel, motel, bed & breakfast or serviced apartment. It is an alternative that is a clean and decent accommodation with good amenities and location. It allows guests to experience living like locals and be able to move around conveniently and see the cities of the National Capital Region with ease. Not to mention the much affordable rate of USD45/night or lower unlike 4 or 5 star hotels some of which charges OVER USD200/night. Thus kindly manage your expectations and review accordingly. If you need sterile & fancy environment with 24/7 services like daily housekeeping, towel change, porter, concierge services and etc, a hotel might be suitable. I can give recommendations. If you would like to experience local living with "homely" environment, this is the place for you!!

• The condominium is residential and centrally located in the CITY with EASY access to transportation, thus please be reasonable and expect some environmental noise. Kindly bring along ear plugs if you are noise sensitive. IF you are looking for "absolute" quiet or ZEN retreat, this may not be the right place for you. IF you are accustomed to city living and urban noise, you should be just fine here. This is MANILA after all.

HOUSE RULES:

-----------------------

• You can check-in between 2pm-8pm unless otherwise arranged. Please inform me if your check-in time will be later than 8pm.

• Kindly check-out no later than 11am to allow me time to clean and get the unit ready for the next guest.

• Should you intend for early check-in or late check-out , kindly communicate the same PRIOR to your booking as it is subject to availability. Thus, should there be incidents of early check-ins or late-check-outs without prior notice and agreement, it may incur an additional USD10/hour to be collected from the security deposit.

• The maximum number of guest the unit can hold is 2. Children / babies are considered as additional guest. For security purposes and to be covered by AirBnB guarantee, all guest/s must be registered with host. Only registered guest/s are allowed to sleep inside the unit. Host can refuse entry for unregistered guest.

• HOUSEKEEPING: Linens and bath towels are included in the unit for your use but need to be left in the unit upon check out. Complimentary starter kit of toilet paper, soap and shampoo are supplied. If more is needed, guests will need to resupply at their expense.

For stays longer than 7 days: Guests can op to have their room cleaned once a week where your bed linens and towels will be changed.

For stays less than 7 days, should you require daily housekeeping service, it can be arranged at USD30 per visit. Advance notice of at least 48 hours as well is needed for this arrangement.

• Guests will be expected to use the furniture and appliances for their intended uses and are there for your convenience. Please handle them with care.

When reported, I'll do my best to contact the appropriate company to help expedite repairs. Since the apartment is still on its investment stage, I cannot offer compensation at this point.

• STRICTLY NO SMOKING. The scent of the smoke will deteriorate the state of the unit, and scent is a challenge to remove. Thus, if guest/s are found smoking inside the unit, full deposit will be forfeited.

To help maintain such low costs, you are asked to leave the place tidy--cutlery and utensils washed and kept clean after use, garbage should be tied properly and dispose off in the garbage room at the end of the corridor. I will do the rest. However, should the unit is found to be excessively dirty (examples: confetti, glitters, stubborn stains on bed/towels/wall, odor due to smoking, vomit and etc) which requires extraordinary cleaning or hiring of professional cleaning service, guests will be charged with cleaning fee of USD80 to be deducted from Security Deposit.
