If you are content with a place that is simple yet comfortable and enjoy a classic flair then look no further and stay with us at our House of Classics, featuring our Marilyn Monroe Room with queen bed, smart TV, mini-fridge & microwave in this shared 3 bedroom 1 bath home. You find all you need to survive, relax and replenish. Full equipped kitchen, lots of off-street parking and close to all highways (I240, I-44, I-35). Long term stays welcomed . The space I could describe in a novel about how cool and awesome our Airbnb rooms are (indeed they are considering the unbeatable rate we offer) BUT most importantly I do need you to PLEASE UNDERSTAND who and WHAT WE ARE (and what we are not and that we are not what your dreams may wish for) SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - BEFORE you book - read first below the section "Other details to note" so you will better know what you may get yourself into... ... and spares each of us false expectations and any disappointment . Thanks ! Guest access - no extra charge for kitchen use - complimentary coffee - no charge for laundry use - safe/secure onsite parking - high speed Internet - a host that cares about your comfort: text 24/7 (or call if urgent concerns) Use of all amenities are at your own risk. We offer the service without extra charge and won't reimburse you if your meal gets burned, the washer ate your cloths or you miss your plane because your WiFi alarm had temporary service interruption... During your stay I do not live there but am available in 30 minutes if you need immediate assistance Other things to note If you are used to staying in hotels and expect the same here, my homes are not for you . You may be better served to just go to a hotel. This is a SIMPLE Airbnb home, you book ONE PRIVATE ROOM, not the entire house. AND yes, there will be others staying ! All our homes are set up by holding true to the origins of Airbnb: offering you a safe comfortable place in a friendly setting of a family oriented HOME - not a party place - and still being budget friendly. To keep our rates low for you, we do NOT have HIGH COST DAILY CLEANING SERVICE, nor weekly lawn maintenance or top notch home grooming. We depend on YOUR cooperation to conduct yourselves with respect toward others and toward the property. Our all governing House Rule is VERY SIMPLE : >>> LEAVE THE PLACE THE WAY YOU FOUND IT ! <<< That means to please please please always clean up after yourself - others staying are not your mom nor your maid and they wish to enjoy the same quality of accommodation as you have received it. In a nutshell: - Sweep off water from floors after showering - clean away your personal yellow and brown spills - kitchen sink is for WASHING dirty dishes, not for storing them for others to wash In summary: Your HOST DOES NOT LIVE THERE. We need YOUR HELP to make everyone's stay a great one. Guests come and go. Your host has little control over who is coming. Most are respectful, but there is that 1 % that believes they are more equal than others. If that happens, I appreciate a little hint (text) and I see to advise/correct where needed. AGAIN: We are NOT a HOTEL, NOR a VACATION RESORT. We depend on YOU doing YOUR PART. If you seek daily room service or prefer getting robbed of your travel funds, please go to those placed where you get more than what you want but also have to cash in so that your personal concierge looks pretty ... But if you come with the right down-to-earth Airbnb attitude you and others the home is shared with will have a great stay. One LAST thing: I most always bring one or two of my dogs along. If you prefer to not meet them let me know and I refrain from bringing them inside.
