Marielpi Corner House Guide

Welcome Tour

Why you should throw toiler paper on the bin?

What to do when water doesn’t drain in the shower?

Sometimes, while you shower, your feet may accidentally close the drain. You can open it with your feet again or with your hands by rotating it on the counter clock-wise as shown in the video below:

How to turn hot water on?

Because Marielpi Corner doesn’t get much of direct sunlight, to turn the hot water on, you have to do it manually 5 to 15 minutes before you shower. You can check in the video below how to. You’ll have water for several hours with only 10 minutes having the hot water toggle on in the summer.

Where to take the house trash?

You can dispose your trash on the bin 1 minute walk from the house. You could also leave your trash by the door since there is a free early morning pickup service but we don’t reccommend it for hygiene reasons. Here’s the video to see how close two bins are to the house: (please throw the trash daily to avoid any unwanted pests)

Where to find more coffee capsules?

You can find more coffee capsules at the nearby grocery store. You can look for any NESPRESSO capsule; all are combatible. Here is the video on how to get to the grocery store from Marielpi Corner:

How to use the washing machine?

See the video below. If you want translation, the 6 programs on the left read as Cotton, Economic, Mixed, Synthetic, Silent Wash, Allergies Care, Baby clothes with Steam. The 6 programs on the right read as: Sensitive, Hand washing/Wool, Sport Clothes, Fast 14minutes, Linen, Washing machine clean, Water removal and drying.

How to work the oven?

When you have to work the over, please move the fridge a little bit out of the counter toward you so it gets more air and less heat from the working oven. After an hour from working the oven, you can push the fridge forward.

How to operate the dehumidifer?

I would strongly recommend that you daily use the dehumidifier to clean the air in the house at all times if you can. The house is hidden from the noise in the old town but that also means it doesn’t get lots of wind or sunshine, especially the ground floor; the dehumidifier will help refresh the air!

How to use the automatic light by the stairs?

For your convenience, we have added an automatic light by the stair case. If you have the toggle on, the light will turn on whenever you’re about to enter the staircase from either side. It’s best to have it on while you sleep in case you want to visit the bathroom mid way your sleep. If the light is out, you may have to charge it – we provide the cable and plug in the wardrobe.

How to turn the stove on?

To turn the stove on, make sure to have the OVEN toggle on (facing up) in the control center by the door (see video). Then, make sure you don’t have any pans on and then press the open button as you see in the video below. Also, if the buttons don’t press, the lock function might be on; put your finger over the lock icon for 3 seconds to unlock.

Where to find parking near Marielpi Corner

This is not the easiest thing to do in the Old Town (since cars are not allowed here), but it’s not impossible. You just need patience or some luck: either will do. Here is the recommended path to find parking and the route we take when we stay in Old Town.

Note that in the bridge you can also turn right, but I recommend you go there only if you see a spot; otherwise avoid since it’s tough to get out of there (it’s a two-way street at the size of a one-way road). So check this video and may the empty parking spot find you soon 😉
