Apartment Climate
Because the apartment is cut into the natural sandstone rock - there is generally a different climate - cooler than outside in summer & warmer than outside in winter. It can be a humid in the apartment after rain however we have two dehumidifiers if the humidity becomes uncomfortable.
The sandstone is designed to allow the ground water that naturally comes out of the rock to trickle down over the face of the sandstone.This is a feature of the apartment - the water then drains to a catchment drain where it is pumped to the outside. A pump system is also used to remove the shower, toilet, kitchen & washing machine waste water to the outside sewer system.
In times of heavy rain the apartment can be humid and may not be the best choice for those who suffer from Asthma.

Our decision to not charge for this. This comes with certain expectations to clean up after yourself in all spaces. Failure to do so will result in additional fees.
Cost structure: Base nightly rate covers 2 guests. Additional guests will incur a fee of $25 per person per night.
