The apartment itself was great. Gorgeous view and lots of space. The check-in process, however, seemed a little shady. The host first said he would meet me but then noted that the check-in would be via a lockbox. Given the availability of the lockbox, it also became strange to me that the host set a very narrow (3 hr) check-in window and wanted to charge a fee to check-in outside that window. This kind of first impression kept me on guard for other hidden schemes that the host might have played. Luckily, nothing else was out of the ordinary, but the first impression mattered.
