IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
* This property is a two-level house, and the "Rainier Entire Upper Floor - Walk to Metro" listing refers specifically to the upper-level unit.
* Guests will have exclusive access to the upper floor, which includes private bedrooms, bathrooms, full kitchen, and living area.
* The front door is shared. Other than that, the upper level does not share any common spaces or amenities with the lower level. The units are fully partitioned and used independently.
* The two floors are separated by privacy gates with manual latches, not by physical interior doors with locks. There's a "No Trespassing" sign on the gates. Please see images of the gate here for reference: https://tinyurl.com/y9xc3rjf.
* Each bedroom door is equipped with locks on both sides for added security and privacy.
* Occupants downstairs are also vacation rental guests, whose performance has been reviewed by other hosts. We only accept guests with a review score of 4.5 or higher. For first-time VRBO users (who, like all of us, have to start somewhere), their ID is submitted directly to the Host and undergoes a thorough background check before their booking request is even considered. We’ve never had any issues at the properties we manage (knocking on wood), thanks to our strict guest vetting process. These disclaimers are simply for transparency and preventive purposes!
