The flat was in a great location, comfortable, perfect size for two folks over the weekend. This is probably more a function of the type of home than anything, but the host has to meet you to let you in - so if you're looking for a completely flexible lock-box situation this isn't it. Really wasn't an issue for us. Daniel was very accommodating and met us earlier than posted check-in time so we could stow our stuff, and let us stow our stuff later in the apartment as well on our last day. Thanks for a great stay Daniel.
