	There are taxis at the airport that can take you to your house. Tell them you need to go to "223B City Sub." The taxi should know how to get there. The cost is $12 and you may be riding with other people commuter style. From the airport – take the main road out of the airport. Take Chief Eddie Hoffman “Highway,” past the hospital parking lot, just past the courthouse and make a left onto Akiak. The ~~building~~ is ~~about three blocks down on the left~~. Enter the building where it says “A” and enter the second door on the right to apartment B. There is one family medicine resident and one pediatric resident living in the house at most times. ~~Many cab companies include~~ 543-2111 or 543-2169 or ~~others if none waiting~~.

The cost is $8 and you may be riding with other people commuter style. From the airport – take the main road out of the airport. Take Chief Eddie Hoffman “Highway,” past the hospital parking lot, just past the courthouse and make a left onto Akiak. You are in a light blue building. The arctic entryway is shared between 2 houses. Enter the building where it says “A” and enter the second door on the right to apartment B. There is one family medicine resident and one pediatric resident living in the house at most times. Cab company phone numbers are 543-2111 or 543-2169 or 543 5454.

	You have unlimited city water, so no need to worry about usage, unlike many homes in Bethel. Be aware of this when visiting other peoples’ homes.

	You will probably want to filter your water for drinking. There is a Brita filter in the kitchen. You can drink the water unfiltered~~, but it has an odd smell/taste/color~~. Currently, the house has several filters in the kitchen cupboards. Ask the current resident when it was last changed.		You will probably want to filter your water for drinking.

	There is a washer and dryer in arctic ~~entry way~~ to the apartment.

	===Cleaning Supplies===		===Cleaning Supplies===
	There are limited cleaning supplies in the house. Please leave the place at least as clean or cleaner than you found it, and replace cleaning supplies if needed. There is a vacuum in the house. YKHC has also hired a cleaning company to do a deep clean on the apartment every 4 weeks. Please let Thi-Anna know if there are any concerns with cleanliness of the resident housing.

	Lots of companies, they are pretty much all the same. The fare within the center of town is ~~always~~ $7 but if you go to Tundra Ridge, the airport or Kasayulie it is $15. You can ask ~~Thi-Anna~~ for cab vouchers. You call, give your address, they come pick you up. When you give the home address, it is 223B City Sub. Be warned that they may pick up other people along the way, and thus a 5-minute trip may turn into a much longer adventure. You are centrally located within a 10-15 minute walk to the hospital and grocery store.		Lots of companies, they are pretty much all the same.

	Taxi drivers do not expect to get tipped in Bethel. There is a flat fee of $7-15 per person if you have to pay out of your pocket. If you do take a taxi in town, you may occasionally have to make several other stops to pick-up/drop off other passengers.		Taxi drivers do not expect to get tipped in Bethel.
