CLEANING We follow the cleaning protocols published by the National Institute of Public Health. This includes airing out the apartment, disinfecting all surfaces, providing hand sanitizer, disinfectant, and cleaning supplies. The calendar is blocked 24 hours between bookings so we can get the apartment ready a day before the guest's check-in date. Therefore, check-in earlier than 1PM is sometimes possible.
