🚨 important things

our building is very high security + all the front desk attendants are hyper-aware of the people who come into the building, it’ll take them a bit to start to recognize you. upon arrival, you can say that you’re on the list with Emma from 9F (make sure you’ve already sent us your photo + full name to add to our system). if anything comes up, we’re friends or family friends, ok? 😊 if you want to have people over - we’ll have to know ahead of time + have their photo and name to put into the system for them to enter

🚰 utilities

AC/heat: try to remember to take off both air conditioner’s/heaters when you leave the apt! I typically do not run the AC or heaters all day, every day - I will put it on in the living room until it gets cool/toasty and then take it off, and leave it off in the bedroom during the day. you do what makes you comfortable!
dishwasher: to turn on, press the power once, and then P to rotate through the different wash cycles, I typically do P2 (regular wash) or P5 (express wash)
washer/dryer: pretty straightforward - dryer dries 98% no matter how many times you run it, it’s best to remove and let air-dry for the last few minutes on the rack.

📺 TV + speaker

samsung tv - already logged into most streaming services, you can use the “microphone” button on the remote to say any TV show or movie and it will pull it up!
sonos speaker - if you want to play music, download the Sonos app and go through the pairing process on your phone. it’s a really nice speaker and great for living room dance parties

💭 other things

the couch + rug are both white so please try not to stain or spill - I recommend eating on the dining table, but if you do eat in the living room area, just be EXTRA careful ❤️
my most prized possession are all my ceramic mugs, treat them delicately

🪴 plants

please water each about 1x week - mist them with the spray bottle about 2-3x week. the one in the corner to the left of the lounge chair (as you’re looking at it), water it with hot water - it likes humidity.

🫒 kitchen

cook to your heart’s content - you’re free to use anything in our fridge or pantry - it’d be fab if you could replace anything you use up when you’re done
just FYI if you are doing any sort of high-sear stovetop situation, it can get pretty smoky in the apt, please open the windows and make sure the stove vent is on.
for coffee: we have three ways for you to enjoy your morning brew - espresso machine (just watch a how-to video first) bialetti, or pour over! beans are in the cupboard above the espresso machine - please replace beans if you use them up!

🌆 the building

building lounge - 18th floor | gym - 6th floor, you access both with the key fob - I only have ONE of these so please don’t lose
you are in the system as permanently allowed guests - we’re friends 😊 so you shouldn’t have any issues with the front desk attendants
you can order food delivery directly to the unit (but make sure to add my name in the notes “Emma Yee Yick 9F”, the front desk attendant will call using the white call device, when it rings, you press the button that has a speaker icon once to talk (and lights up green when someone calls) and then again to take it off
