What to expect

Booking checklist
| Ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Private or shared bathroom? | Photos do not always make the arrangement clear. |
| Floor bedding and stairs? | Useful for luggage, mobility and sleep preferences. |
| Arrival and key handover? | Some properties use a scheduled host meeting or self check-in. |
| Cancellation and payment? | Use the live platform or property terms, not a screenshot. |
