For non-emergency issues during your stay, contact the host:

Kitchen and Cooking Safety

Use caution when cooking or handling hot surfaces, sharp utensils, glassware, cookware, and cleaning products. Keep children away from hot stoves, ovens, grills, knives, and other kitchen hazards.

Do not pour grease, oil, food scraps, coffee grounds, wipes, feminine products, paper towels, or non-flushable items into sinks, drains, toilets, or garbage disposals.
