Our apartments are let on a monthly basis, the maximum rental period is six months. The rental contract begins on the first (1^st) calendar day of the month (except in January) and always ends on the last working day (Mon. - Fri.) of the month.

The apartments in the guesthouse are fully furnished and have an integrated kitchenette, a private bathroom with shower/WC, TV, WLAN and telephone (for free calls within the UPB telephone network). The kitchenette is equipped with an induction hob with two cocking plates, microwave, fridge, kettle, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. The small apartments (single) have a single bed; the large flats have a double bed (160x200). Please note: Extra beds or mattresses cannot be added.

Two sets of bed linen, shower towels, hand towels, tea towels and bath mats are provided and can be washed and dried free of charge in the in-house laundry room. Washing powder, dishwashing liquid and cleaning products must be purchased by the guest.

Please note: It is not permitted to keep pets, bring in furniture including exercise equipment (e.g. weights bench), air conditioning units, large plants etc. or to park bicycles or other vehicles in the flat.

The guest is responsible for keeping the property in a clean and tidy condition and for regular ventilation.

For the maintenance of the apartments, an additional professional basic cleaning is carried out on weekdays (Mon. - Fri. from 10 a.m.) - this service cannot be cancelled and does not release the tenants from their obligation to clean the apartment regularly.

In addition to the apartments, there are some communal areas available to our guests:

• a reading room with view into the park
• a laundry room with free of charge use of washing machine and tumble dryer, ironing equipment, hoover and cleaning utensils. Guests are asked to bring their own washing powder.

The rentt must be transferred to the account indicated on the invoice by the 5th of the respective month. For a rental period of several months, it is also possible to pay the total amount in advance.

Cash and card payments are not accepted. Alternatively, the bank transfer can be made by another person at the host institution who will receive the money back from the guest on arrival.

We are unable to accept luggage in advance of your arrival, as there is no storage facility in our site.

The key can be collected by the guest on presentation of the identity card on the first* day of the move-in month from 1 p.m., depending on opening hours, either in the Service Centre or from the security guard. The Service Centre as well as the Security Guard Lodge (glass box opposite the library) are located in the foyer of the main entrance. After this time, the key is ready for collection at any time (24/7).

*In January, the apartments are ready for move-in later than usual (see reservation form).

Guests should have left their apartment by 10:00 a.m. on the last working day (Mon.- Fri.) of the move-out month at the latest.
