Noise pollution

We hope you have lots of laughs and fun during your stay! However, we would appreciate it if you could be careful and keep the noise to a minimum out of respect for the neighbours and the condominium.

Please avoid making noise between 11pm and 8am to allow neighbours to sleep peacefully.

In the event of a dispute or complaint from a neighbour, it is your duty to inform us as soon as reasonably possible.
