things to know
rubbish
Please follow the waste sorting calendar and the guide (find guide here) provided on the fridge. Bin bags are under the kitchen sink. Please note waste sorting is monitored by local authorities. Incorrect refuse sorting can result in fines which will be deducted from your deposit or charged at check-out
parking
You can park for free by the property entrance and nearby streets
gas
Gas in the kitchen is supplied through a gas cylinder stored in a cabinet in the garden and we always make sure this is full before your arrival. In the event you run out of gas, please do not attempt to replace the gas cylinder yourself, but contact us and we will come and replace it for you
power
Since the property has a standard electricity power, using multiple appliances together may cause the power to go off due to a power overload. In the event of a power outage, the electric panel (see picture) is located in the box in storage room opposite the ground floor bathroom, while the main switchboard (see picture) is outside the property in the garden
toilet
Due to the local plumbing system, to avoid creating clogs and blockages, please do not over-use toilet paper and do not flush down anything except for toilet paper. Please use the bin provided for feminine products, wipes or anything else
mosquitoes & mosquito nets
Unfortunately during warm and hot periods there are many mosquitoes and insects, therefore we recommend you to always use mosquito nets and keep the doors closed. In the house you will find some products for protection from mosquitoes and insects. We also kindly ask you to operate the mosquito nets with care to avoid damaging them
Plants
Feel free to water the plants and the garden (if needed). It would be really appreciated!
