Question 1

Is There Somewhere I Can Store My Bike?

Accepted Answer

This varies as no accommodation is the same. It is only allowed to store a bike in a designated area such as a garden, barn, or storage. This area should be reachable without bringing your bike into or through the accommodation itself. And if needed the bike can be stored on the street with a good lock. Check with the specific advertisement in question if there is any designated area to store your bike.

Question 3

Do I Need To Be Present At The Check-In Or Check-Out?

Accepted Answer

It is not possible to let someone else do your check-in. For the check-out, you can give permission to someone (proxy) else to do this on your behalf. If you want to make use of this option, do inform us, utmost 1 business day beforehand, so we can provide you with the power of attorney documents.
