The Art of Being a Good Guest

• Please adhere to the suggestions made by your host – for example, removing shoes in the home or observing a quiet time after dark in a residential area
• Be courteous to the neighbors as you would in your own home
• Please leave the home tidy upon departure
• Please remove garbage and store where the owner has indicated
• If something gets broken, please alert the owner as soon as possible.  Most owners wont nickel and dime you for broken cups etc…but most will appreciate your honesty so that the matter can be resolved quickly
• Please check with the owner regarding the policy on unauthorized guests – both day visitors and overnight guests
• Check with the owner regarding a smoking policy

The owners will always want you to enjoy your stay and like to cultivate return visitors.  Quite often, owners will offer a reduction for a repeat visit, so it pays to be a good guest.
