The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Strip any used beds
Remove personal items and remove leftover food and drinks
Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys
We don’t want check-out to be a burden. Please make sure that all waste is bagged up, doors and windows are locked and the keys have been returned to the lock safe.
If you have time to strip the beds before you leave that would be hugely helpful but don’t worry if not.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
