Check-in was such a process/hassle and we could not check in without someone being there - so, no independent check-in. We then felt like the owner(s) really did not want guests there because they actually live in the home, so that was not comfortable. All-in-all we would not recommend this particular home. I do not think the owners are ready to be Airbnb hosts because they live in the home and all of their belongings are in the home. Uncomfortable.
