Check-Out Instructions
CHECKOUT INSTRUCTIONS
Hi,
I hope that you have enjoyed your stay so far! I would like to remind you that the check-out time is by 10 am, unless agreed otherwise.
If you have time it would be amazing if you could wash your dishes, pick up all the trash and throw away all food items before you depart. Also, if you moved any furniture please place it back to its original position the way you found it. Finally, make sure all the windows are down and locked, and turn all lights off before departing.
Thank you so much for your help!!
Safe travels!
