very easy check in through a third party service. the suite is in a great location for walking downtown. The host messaged on the day we arrive stating the blackout blinds for the patio had broken that day but they had put in blackout curtains. the curtains do not cover a large portion of the upper window so they are not blackout in anyway. There was a review from August of 2021 stating the same issue. Small unit, but otherwise perfect for a short trip between family or close friends.
