Rules


1. Kitchen Etiquette:
- You are welcome to use the kitchen, please remember to clean up after yourself.
- Dry your dishes and put them back in their original place.
- Make sure to leave the kitchen as you found it, so others can use it too.

2. Bathroom Etiquette:
- We only have one bathroom, so please be considerate of others.
- Clean the toilet after use and ensure the bathroom is ready for the next person.
- The pipes are old ones please make sure to deposit the toilet paper in the bin.

3. Bedroom & Laundry:
- You will be provided with bed linens. Please return them clean before you leave. If you know you are leaving early let us know beforehand to find a solution. The next person derseves fresh bed sheets too.
- Please bring your own towel, as we do not provide them.
- We don't have a washing machine, but there is a laundromat just half a block from the supermarket.

4. Noise and Consideration:
- The ground floor is dark; nevertheless, we kindly ask you to ensure that the bathroom, kitchen light, living room, and staircase lights are not all switched on at the same time. It's easy to overlook this. Let's be mindful and use our resources sparingly.
- Others will be sharing the house with you. Please keep noise to a minimum after 10 PM.
- People in this town are friendly but also a bit curious. Spain has recently tightened regulations for Airbnb-style stays. If the police show up, let them know you are not paying for your stay. You are just my guests.


6. Important Reminder:
Please submit your passport or National ID details before your arrival per mail to : yocetina@gmail.com or per whatsapp +491776517604 as part of our check-in process.
