Ayla and Jake are very responsive and were able to allow us into the space a little earlier than check-in to accommodate our early morning arrival. As the description states, the space is compact so those with large luggage may feel a bit cramped. My fiance and I "backpacked" this trip and we didn't feel pressed for space - in fact it felt quite roomy. We had gorgeous weather and thoroughly enjoyed spending the last bit of our evenings in the captain's quarters sipping wine. Great hosts, good location, and stylish space. Would definitely stay here again.
