Check in instructions were clear and easy. We enjoyed our time! The only thing is that we were afraid to use any of the apartment items as there were signs everywhere instructing us on proper usage and fees if things were not cleaned up to the owners standards. I understand that being a host is difficult and perhaps the owners have had some bad luck with previous visitors. However, the fees for both gathering towels, taking out the trash, having leaves on the steps, checking for leaks and clogs before checking out, etc. made us a bit uneasy. There were signs on every trashcan and on every appliance, and many walls and items. ##### Victoria L.

It slept 4 adult people comfortably - any more adults might be too much. The beautiful large tub in the bathroom was so very inviting but was unavailable - a difficult tease!
