Q: What is the difference between the Dolphin Unit and Starfish Unit? A: Both are recently remodeled, completely furnished designer apartments, filled with artwork. The Dolphin and Starfish Units both have a large chef's kitchen, gas stove and oven, dishwasher, separate kitchen and livingroom/diningroom areas. The Starfish Unit is smaller than the Dolphin Unit and features a private fenced yard, a large (8 foot long) breakfast bar, a jacuzzi bathtub, a large eat-in kitchen and small bedroom and one parking space. (Sometimes arrangements can be made for another space.) The Dolphin Unit is somewhat larger than the starfish unit, features a larger bedroom, two parking spaces, and has a shared yard with fruit trees which is used infrequently by the Landlord. Q: Is there a move-out cleaning charge? A: Yes, in order to guarantee that each renter receives a sparkling clean apartment, we have the apartment professionally cleaned when someone moves out.
