Darling Clean 2-Bedroom Home W/Great Amenities

DEAR WONDERFUL GUEST: Please read the ENTIRE description of this wonderful property BEFORE booking. This description explains all of the features, amenities, house rules and the process for check-in. To insure that everyone is "on the same page", we ask that you PLEASE read this important information PRIOR to reserving this property. Particularly, if you are booking this property via a third-party platform other than our direct website, you need to be familiar with this information PRIOR to booking. We cannot offer refunds through third-party booking platforms beyond the published standard cancellation policies. We cannot accept third-party reservations (you booking for someone else) due to insurance restrictions. Again, we strongly urge you to read this entire description. Thank you!

HERE’S INFO ABOUT OUR PROPERTY: This charming 2-bedroom home is beautifully decorated and offers many great amenities including stylish furnishings and appliances (stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, washer/dryer, etc). Each bedroom features a very nice and comfy queen-size bed with all linens provided. You’ll have a full-size eat-in kitchen, one spacious bathroom, convenient laundry facilities in the unit, a deck/patio just off the kitchen, plus much more! It's located just off the Belt Highway near I-29 and 36 Highway. You’ll love my place because of the coziness, the cleanliness, the amenities, the quiet street, off-street parking, etc.

I provide amazing amenities like wonderful decor, complimentary high-speed Wifi, hair dryer, cooking utensils, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, iron & ironing board, coffee and coffee maker, washer & dryer, dishwasher, smart TVs, cell phone charging stations, and so much more! All of our properties are very close to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, and more. In addition, our properties are located near Mosaic Life Care hospital and Missouri Western State University. You can also enjoy music, news, weather, and tons of information with the Amazon Echo (Alexa)! There's one in each room! She's installed and ready to serve you!

Our properties are located in very safe and secure neighborhoods. All are in the “newer” part of town, east of the Belt Highway. To give you added security and peace of mind, all of our properties are equipped with a user-friendly security alarm system which you control from a key fob that we provide to you upon check-in. In addition, outdoor video surveillance provides you with the extra comfort of safety and security (video surveillance is on the OUTSIDE of the property ONLY). You’ll rest well at one of our properties!

WHAT ABOUT PETS? Unfortunately, we do not accept pets in or on this property. We LOVE animals, however, in order to be fair and consistent from guest to guest, we've had to adopt a "no pets" policy. In addition to the possibility of a pet soiling the carpet or causing some damage, pets can leave a dander behind that future guests may be allergic to. Because we want ALL of our guests to enjoy a clean, non-allergenic environment, this is another reason we don't allow pets in our properties. Additionally, the City of St Joseph has strict regulations regarding barking dogs and the disturbance they may create for the neighborhood… this is another reason we do not accept pets. Thank you for understanding!

ABOUT YOUR HOST: I’ve been welcoming travelers into my properties for the last 17 years! As a host, I enjoy meeting new people! I love hosting visitors to St. Joseph and will do everything I can to make sure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable! Because I am a "clean freak" myself, I am very particular about the cleanliness of my places. We do all of the cleaning ourselves (after all, no one can do it to meet my high standards!).

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU! Upon your arrival, I WILL MEET YOU at the property to program your own unique custom access code, show you how to operate the security alarm system, and get you checked-in. Additionally, at that time, you'll sign a check-in form stating that you're familiar with the house rules and to confirm your check-out date. You MUST show your identification and complete a basic guest registration card for our insurance purposes. Check-In time is anywhere from 3:00pm until 11:00pm. We will attempt to accommodate a check-in prior to 3:00pm if the unit is available and ready. If you plan to arrive after 11:00pm, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements, otherwise a $50 late check-in fee may apply. We are required to meet guests at the property for check-in, verify ID, and show you where the fire extinguisher is located. NOTE: Our properties are not the typical AirBNB, VRBO or HomeAway short-term rental. Most of our reservations come through our own website. So, if you are booking this property through one of the third-party platforms, please understand that our check-in process may be a little different (as explained in this listing) from what you might be used to. Thank you for understanding!
