Took about three hours to check in, 2 hours to get the keys and 1 to figure out how to use the keys. Plus there was a mix up with keys so another guess had keys to the room reserved. A total of about 3+ hours. After the checking fiasco the host tried to make it up with ice cream. Although the start was rocky and the key situation is not necessarily easy (requires some wiggle). We met pretty nice guess and overall the stay was not bad. I would not necessarily stay there not because of the check in situation. But more because it is not that close to downtown. If you are staying for other reasons other than downright tourism than this is actually a pretty good option as long as you can check in.
