Early check-in or late check-out may be requested through your personal online Ethos Home Portal, available immediately after your reservation is confirmed.

We keep check-out tasks to a minimum. We only ask that you wash your dishes and remove your trash from inside the home. These two small steps help us pay our cleaning teams a fair wage while keeping our overall cleaning fees reasonable. If you leave something behind, we are happy to mail lost and found items back to you for a $35 Handling Fee plus the cost of shipping.

Overstaying beyond the designated check-out time may result in additional charges of up to 150% of the effective daily rate of your stay for each day (full or partial) that you overstay, as well as any other related damages, fees, costs or expenses incurred by us, such as our loss of a subsequent guest reservation or booking alternative accommodations for them.

Unauthorized occupants will be charged $75 per person per night for the entire reservation period, and if we find it necessary, we may revoke or terminate the reservation if occupancy limits are violated.

Parties, events, and excessive noise are strictly prohibited. Guests must comply with all city and county laws, and all local noise and safety ordinances during their stay. Please keep noise to a minimum between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM and respect the privacy and comfort of our long-term neighbors. Please note that our properties are protected by non-audio-recording noise decibel and crowd monitoring devices to prevent parties.

Perfect neighborhood stay

We chose this property as it is close to our daughter and son-in-law. It was exactly as described, a perfect place to tuck in for the night and start the day with an excellent selection of teas (thank you). Very clean. Bed was quite comfortable, and the sofa bed was more comfortable than most. Bathroom was very clean and bright with great water pressure/temp. Location is optimal for university proximity and La Mesa is close by. We will definitely look to stay here again.

Neighborhood was nice and well kept. Slept four nights with no loud motorcycles or dogs barking. Room looked as it did in the pictures. Everything was clean. Sofa was comfortable and the bed was just firm enough for my spine but soft enough to not pressure my shoulder when laying on my side. Amenities were better than a hotel – plenty of soap & shampoo, hair dryer, iron, silverware, etc. Parking spot is only several feet from the entrance.

Please disregard the above star ratings. We walked into the rental and literally already turned around and left. We were probably in the unit for less than two minutes, so we’re unable to rate those star ratings.
