The Green Door in Whiteaker: Some Shades of Gray

Summary:

At the heart of the historic Whiteaker neighborhood, this apartment in a purple duplex plays with the artsy influence of the neighborhood, surrounded by wonderful restaurants and breweries, grocery shopping...all within walking distance.



The Green Door invites you to enjoy the subtle shades of grey, punctuated by some colors for a calming and peaceful stay away from home.



The Space:

Just 2.5 miles to the University of Oregon, a 10 minute car ride, and walking distance to a lot of breweries and restaurants nearby.



A nicely appointed space with all the amenities you need for your stay in Eugene. There is a full kitchen: brand new stove, ample prep space, cooking utensils including a rice cooker, and coffee, tea and cocoa. This unit has NO television.



The queen size bed has an organic memory foam mattress to give you a great night's sleep. For the 3rd person in the unit, there is a convertible euro style couch. Extra linen is provided upon your confirmed 3rd person reservation. If you are 2 people and one would like to sleep in the sofa, there is a $25 laundry charge for extra linen.



This is a unit in a quiet duplex. The adjacent garage is used as my storage with motion activated lights.



Guest Access:

The address and code for the digital keypad will be texted to you a few days before check-in.



Please do not check in before 4 pm as sometimes the unit is still scheduled for cleaning or being cleaned from a previous booking. However, you may text me the day before to find out if earlier check in is available. We do our best to accommodate.



Check out: 11 a.m.



The Neighborhood:

This is the Whit, as many locals will call it. Now one of the more desirable and historic neighborhoods because of all the breweries and restaurants around, this area is fast becoming gentrified. Moreover, we own 2 complexes in this dead end street so all neighbors are known to us. However, we will urge you to not leave your cars unlocked nor have valuables left inside.



The train sounds can sometimes be heard in the distance all throughout Eugene for some light sleepers, so please be aware.



There are no street lights at night, but a motion detector light will shine upon your approach on the driveway.



The Orange Door across from you is another one of our airbnb listings.



Getting Around:

Once you're parked in the driveway, you can walk around to many restaurants and breweries. A suggested list will be provided to you. A car is still necessary or you can get around by taxi, Lyft or Uber.



Consider renting a bike, too, as Eugene is one of the most desirable places to bike at. There are many local places that charge very reasonable rates. You may park the bicycle in the kitchen of your unit, but please make sure to clean up dirt you trekked in.



Renting a car will be cheaper if you rented from Enterprise in town instead of the airport.



Other Things to Note:

Even before the time of Covid-19, we use hospital grade sanitation and cleaning supplies for the protection of our service people and guests. We also block days between guests.



This is a NON-smoking unit, but smoking is allowed outside the premises. Pot is now legal in our state, but may not be smoked inside the house. We love our environment and hope that you will support our recycling efforts if possible, as well as, minimize carbon footprint with the utilities.



The unit has a broom, dustpan, paper towels, garbage bags and cleaning spray in case you spill something. Cleaning between guests are done by professionals who are paid living wages. Our cleaning and laundry products are natural and environmentally safe. Your cleaning fee goes directly to them. In the event that the unit is needing further cleaning because it was left dirty or unkempt, or there are stains we need to further treat, we charge you the extra charge for their extra time.



Please do not rearrange furniture.

Our dining table is not for crafting projects. It’s main purpose is for eating. Please use hot pads/trivet/towel when setting hot plates on the table.

Please do not use wet or muddy shoes inside the house or step on carpets when your shoes are dirty.



Please note that makeup oftentimes doesn’t come out of towels or hair dye for that matter. Please bring makeup remover cloths or wipes. We charge for towels or linen that are deeply soiled as oftentimes, even bleach or enzymes will not remove stains. Extra labor for deep stain treatment will also be charged by our service person and you will be billed accordingly.



Should you forget items, we can ship them to you with a minimum charge of $25 handling for our service person plus cost of postage.



LONG TERM GUESTS: We do linen washing and change outs only after your stay at the unit. You are responsible for in between washings. There are many laundromats close by that we can help you locate if needed.



Interaction with Guests:

I travel a lot and will do my best to meet you when I'm here. I'm either visiting my kids and grandkids, competing in archery competitions or fishing out of town. However, I have great folks who help with maintenance if there is an issue. You will get information on the keyed entry a few days before your trip, and the rest, we can communicate by text, phone, or email.
