The code to the gates to the back yard is 0612.

The Wi-Fi network is called DNA-WLAN-2G-6DB9 and the password is

The first room to your right when your enter (with the owls on the door) is not in use.
Keep it closed.
The elevator won't move unless you close both the door and the gate.
You can use the food that you find in the kitchen cupboards an fridge (but not the
freezer). You can use shampoo, conditioner etc. that you find in the bathroom.
More bed linen and towels are in the last closet in the hall. More duvets and blankets
are in a box under the bed you see right across from you when you walk in.
If you use the washing machine, leave it open to dry. Remember to keep the pipe in
the sink and close the metal lids properly. More instructions in this folder.
Please water the plants if you stay more than 3 days or they start to look unhappy.
If you run out of toilet paper, washing liquid or such, buy more or let me know so I
can buy more / inform the next guests.
If something isn't the way you expected, tell me.

WHEN YOU LEAVE:

I won't always be able to be here between guests, so please leave the place about the
way it was when you came. The kitchen floor gets dirty easily, so if you stay for a
longer time, you might need to mop it (mop, bucket, vacuum cleaner etc. are in first
closet on the left).
If you have time, wash and hang up to dry used bed linen and towels.
Please take out the garbage (mixed waste and biowaste, others if they're full).
You can leave behind extra food that doesn't go bad. Check that you don't leave
anything that will get smelly or inedible.

ENJOY YOUR STAY!

QUIRKS OF THE APARTMENT
Things that might make you go hmmm.

The apartment is old and it shows in some ways: paint might be peeling off, the floors
are worn, etc. Right now I'm in the middle of renovating the hall floor. It shouldn't
incovenience you. However, here are some things you should know:
In sunny weather it gets hot inside – opening the small windows on both sides helps.
The balcony door is stiff – just pull it.
The bathroom light takes a while to light – give it time.
To release the wooden blinds on some of the windows, pull the string down. To lock,
pull it to the right.
