Neighbouring front doors
(Hame) NeighboursGood for the street, not just the guestsCase by case

Every home we look after sits in a street, a stair or a building full of people who live there. We set each one up so guests are welcome and neighbours are not disturbed, with the measures agreed with you before the first booking.

(01) Case by caseEvery home is differentStart here

No two buildings or streets are the same. Before the first guest, we look at your home, the building and the neighbours around it, then agree with you which measures it needs. Those requirements are set at the start and kept for every stay.

(04) In the homeQuiet technology02 tools

Quiet technology that respects privacy.

We use a small set of tools that tell us when something needs attention, so we can act before a neighbour has to. None of them listen in or look inside the home.

01 / Noise monitoringMinutminut.com ↗

We hear about noise before the neighbours do.

Minut sensors in the home measure sound levels and spot the signs of a crowd, without ever recording audio. They connect straight into our management system, so the moment noise passes the limit set for the home, we are alerted and act at once.

  • Sound levels only, never recordings
  • Alerts land straight in our management system
  • We contact the guest at once and follow up until it is quiet
  • Smoke and temperature alerts as well

02 / Video doorbell

We know who comes and goes.

Where the building allows it, a video doorbell at the entrance shows us arrivals and departures. We check the number of guests matches the booking and step in if people turn up who should not be there. It covers the front door only, is disclosed in every listing and never looks inside the home.

  • Arrivals checked against the booking
  • Unexpected visitors spotted and dealt with
  • Front door only, never inside
  • Disclosed to every guest before they book
